AI Overview

Evidence suggests that "Sythe" was predominantly used as a

feminine name in the 1500s.

For instance, one source explicitly states that "The evidence is overwhelming that Sythe is a feminine name" and mentions examples of the name appearing in contexts indicating female individuals.

While some modern baby name websites list "Sythe" as a masculine or even Christian boy's name, this conflicts with historical information regarding its typical usage.

There's also mention of a name "Sythy" being used for girls for centuries in the Upper Dale, including the 16th to 18th centuries, which is likely a related or similar name.

Therefore, based on historical evidence, it is more likely that "Sythe" was a feminine name during the 1500s.
