Sibley Family History
Sibley Name Meaning
English: from the popular medieval female personal name
Sibley, a vernacular form of Latin Sibilla, from Greek
Sibylla, a title of obscure origin borne by various oracular
priestesses in classical times. In Christian mythology the sibyls came
to be classed as pagan prophets (who had prophesied the coming of
Christ), and hence the name was an acceptable one that could be
bestowed on a Christian child.
