PIL
PEEL
A very short Estonian form of Sibyl, carrying the sense of a wise woman or prophetess.
Meaning
In the excerpted name books, Pil is given as an Estonian form connected with Sibyl. Sibyl ultimately comes from Greek and Latin traditions meaning a prophetess or wise woman, so Pil inherits that association rather than having an independent meaning of its own. The books also note it as a very short form, especially used in Estonia.

Fun fact
One source calls Pil the "very shortest form" of Sibyl in Estonian, which is about as brief as a name can get.
