Etymology

The French noun **aigle** comes from the Late Latin *aquila* “eagle,” itself a borrowing from the Greek *aix* (ἀήξ) meaning the same bird. In the transition to Old French, the Latin *aquila* underwent the typical vowel shifts, yielding *aigle*, with the consonant *c* softened and the *u* rendered as *i*. The word’s meaning has remained stable, evolving only in metaphorical use (e.g., a symbol of strength and pride).
