Derived from the Latin Sibylla (a fortune-teller, a prophetess), from the Greek Sibylla, which, according to old etymology, is a corruption of Lios Boyle (Jove's counsel, Zeus' counsel). The sibyls, women of ancient Greece and Rome, were the mouthpieces of the ancient oracles and seers into the future. In the Middle Ages, they were thought to be receptors of divine revelation; thus Sibyl came into use as a given name |
