Ailie
Meaning of Ailie
Pronounced AY-lee, Ailie arrives like a soft Highland breeze, carrying centuries of gentle tradition and a touch of Gaelic mystery. As a Scottish Gaelic diminutive of Ailidh (itself the Gaelic form of Helen or Eleanor), Ailie practically means “light” or “sunbeam,” reflecting the radiant warmth she brings wherever she goes. Though she’s not topping the charts—hovering around the 945th spot in the U.S. with only a handful of newborns each year—that rarity makes her feel all the more precious, like a secret treasure waiting to be discovered. For parents seeking a name rich in heritage yet refreshingly uncommon, Ailie offers a perfect balance of grace and individuality, a lovely reminder that sometimes the brightest light shines from the most unexpected places.
