Nayelly is a feminine given name of Zapotec origin, derived from a phrase meaning “I love you,” which imparts a quietly affectionate quality. In Spanish it is typically pronounced nah-YEH-yee, while in American English speakers render it as nay-EL-ee. Though never widely adopted on a national scale, Nayelly has made occasional appearances in Texas birth records—peaking in 2001 with fifteen newborns (ranked 296th) and settling between the high-200s for much of the 1990s and 2000s—underscoring its appeal as a distinctive yet meaningful choice. Its blend of indigenous heritage and contemporary sensibility makes Nayelly particularly suited to families seeking a name that carries both cultural resonance and personal warmth.
