Garyl is likely an elaborated form of Gary, from a Germanic name meaning spear. The added ending gives the familiar root a slightly more stylized and modern shape while keeping the sturdy masculine base intact.

The name sits in that space between tradition and personalization that many modern names occupy: anchored, but not ordinary.
