Muriel

Bright sea name

Muriel is a feminine given name of Celtic origin, meaning "bright sea." It peaked in popularity in the early twentieth century and now sounds distinctly old-fashioned: My great-aunt Muriel still sends birthday cards by mail.

The name occasionally appears in literature and film, often for characters of an earlier generation.
