Bardil (plural: Bardila) is a Germanic given name and surname. It is of ancient European origins that evolved from words meaning "axe", “white, bright, brilliant,” "giant," or "beard."[1]
The earliest known man with the name was Bardylis I (born c. 448 BC). Though it is a Latinized Illyrian name, the Germanic Bardil is not inherited nor borrowed in the Illyrian language. It may possibly be referenced to the archaeological depiction of axes in Illyrian weaponry and Bardylis and his soldiers, who possibly had a beard.
The name is attested alongside the archaic Lithuanian hypocoristic name (nickname) Bardzila and its Slavic variants Bordzilo and Burdzilo, all of which are derived from Bardys.[2][3][4]
Origins
[edit]Ancient words
[edit]Bardil was first attested in the Old High German language as “Bardilo" in the 9th century AD. The name derives from Old English "bardouleau" or "bardelle", Old French "bartel", and Old Norse "barðill," by evolution of proto-Germanic "bardaz" (meaning "beard") and "bardō" (meaning "axe").[5]
