Origin and meaning of name Female

English

Etymology

From Middle English female, an alteration of Middle English femele, from Old French femele, femelle (“female”), from Medieval Latin fēmella (“a female”), from Latin fēmella (“a girl, a young female, a young woman”), diminutive of fēmina (“a woman”). The English spelling and pronunciation were remodelled under the influence of male, which is otherwise not etymologically related. Contrast woman, which is etymologically built on man (as in person).

Noun (Usage notes)

Due to its inclusion of non-human animals, some find it dehumanizing to refer to female humans as "female(s)", especially in non-technical contexts. Other have criticized it as being overly used for women compared to the use of "male(s)" for men. It is frequently used in police blotters, dispatches, reports, and legal, medical, or physiological documents to encompass girls and women.
