Jiles
Meaning of Jiles
Jiles (pronounced JY-uls) bounces into the spotlight as a playful, unexpected twist on the medieval name Giles, itself rooted in the Greek Aegidius—“young goat”—and beloved in Anglo-American lore for its ties to Saint Giles, protector of forests and wanderers. Picture Jiles as a bright spark darting through a quiet woodland, nimble and curious, bringing a dash of old-world charm with a wink of modern flair. Though it hovers around the 900-mark on recent U.S. charts—just half a dozen or so little Jyleses joining the ranks each year—its rarity feels more like discovering a hidden treasure than getting lost in the crowd. Perfect for a boy destined to stand out, Jiles carries lineage, lore, and a mischievous grin all rolled into one.
