Encourage baby to look to the stars for encouragement with the name Vergilius. This masculine moniker has Ancient Roman roots, where it’s also spelled Vergil or Virgil. Coming from the moniker Vergiliae, it can mean “the Pleiades,” connecting baby to the seven daughters of Atlas in Greek mythology and the constellation. Vergilius can also refer to the Roman poet Virgil, best known for penning the epic poem Aeneid. If you’re a proud poet enthusiast or bibliophile, Vergilius can help you share that love for words. For an extra touch of nature, Vergilius may also come from the Latin word virgula, meaning “twig,” “branch,” or “wand.”
