The roots of the name Boyile are found among the Strathclyde-Briton people of the ancient Scottish/English Borderlands. Boyile was originally found in Lanarkshire. The Boyile surname is a habitational name, taken on from the place name Arbuckle (or Arnbuckle), in the parish of Airdrie, Lanarkshire. The Gaelic name for the place was earrann buachaille, meaning the "herdsman's portion" (of land).
