ÊÜéë

There are no translations of names like that in Greek (or ancient Greek). I am providing you here with the name in Greek phonetically, meaning this will be how we will pronounce and write it ou in Greek.

neutral Vicky Papaprodromou : Val, the asker is obviously looking for corresponding names of the same original meaning in other modern or ancient languages.Kalila is right:the meaning is "ÇÁÍDSOME".You're right,too. NO Greek names of the kind.No need for sites or pronunciation.

agree sassa : As for the meaning "Kyle is a Scottish Gaelic surname (brought to Ireland in the 17th century) which means “Narrow,” or “Near the Narrow Channel,” from “caol” (slender)...." http://www.geocities.com/edgarbook/names/k/kyle.html

if it means "handsome"

Peer comment(s):

disagree Valentini Mellas : What you are suggesting is a leap of faith .. Kyle is NOT KALOS which would mean handsome in ancient greek but not in modern greek (in.gr is a modern greek dictionary NOT ancient Greek) ...

suggestion based on findings that Kyle is of Gaelic, Scottish, Irish origins. when checked it out (same question posted in English>Arabic) the only meaning used as a name was "handsome" (Gaelic), a common male name in Arabic (Waseem). so I said "if" !!
agree Lamprini Kosma : "Origin and Meaning of First Name Kyle. What is the ethnic origin? Celtic. What does it mean? Handsome, near the chapel." http://tinyurl.com/2a3w6 Indeed, you only said "if" and gave a link to a site that could explain the meaning. Have a nice day! :-)

thank you! Have a nice day too :)
disagree Joseph Brazauskas : 'Kyle' is Welsh. It does not mean 'handsome'; it means 'narrow channel' (as of a river).
