#Sybil downton abbey series
Usage of the name recently increased due to a character on the popular TV series Downton Abbey.
It was thought suitable as a name for girls by Christians, despite its pagan origins, because the sibyls had delivered messages from a deity and were thought to have been blessed by God with partial understanding of the coming of Jesus Christ. Latinate forms of the name in use by 1381 included Sibilla and Sibilia. It has been in common use in Christian countries since the Middle Ages. Sybil or Sibyl is a feminine given name of Greek origin given in reference to the sibyls, oracles of Ancient Greece.
