What Does the Name Baile Mean?
Baile is an Irish name usually explained as coming from baile, the Irish word for "home," "townland," or "place." A separate Old Irish word spelled the same way means "vision" or "frenzy," and the early personal name Baile may be connected with that literary word rather than the everyday noun; the derivation is not certain. In English, Baile is also sometimes treated as a spelling of Bailey, a surname from Old French bailli, "bailiff." That Bailey derivation is distinct from the Irish word.
Baile Name History & Origins
Irish place names preserve baile as a common element; Baile Átha Cliath, the Irish name of Dublin, is a familiar example. Old Irish literature uses the same spelling in the title Baile in Scáil, where it refers to a visionary frenzy, and the name Baile belongs to the legendary figure Baile Binnbérlach. The English spelling Baile is also used as a variant of Bailey, a surname that began as a term for a bailiff and later became a given name.
