Simply means "Maple" in English, derived from Old English mapulder "Maple tree". As a given name Maple has been occasionally found from the late 1600s onwards, on both men and women, which leads modern-day academics to the assumption that back then it was first and foremost a transferred use of the surname (which is derived from the name of the tree and originally referred to someone who lived by or near a Maple tree). In this day and age, however, Maple is almost exclusively used as a feminine name, likely influenced by the similar sound of the name Mabel. In the literary world, Maple is the name of a young girl in Robert Frost's poem entitled Maple.https://familysearch.org/search/record/results?count=20&query=%2Bgivenname%3Amaple(Information from name #14881 originally submitted by user lady murasaki)
