Maylie
Meaning of Maylie
Maylie is an English-language feminine given name, likely originating as a modern elaboration of May—itself derived from the Latin Maius and linked to the Roman goddess Maia—and enhanced by the diminutive suffix –lie, which subtly echoes the lily flower’s associations with purity and renewal. First entering the U.S. Social Security Administration’s top 1,000 in 1999 at rank 886, it has since remained within the 894–966 range, most recently appearing at rank 913 with thirty-seven recorded births in 2024. This stability reflects a measured appeal: Maylie offers parents a balance of familiar roots and contemporary formation, ensuring it remains distinctive enough to avoid repetition on the playground while fitting comfortably within prevailing Anglo-American naming patterns.
