Railey

Meaning of Railey

Railey glides onto the scene like a soft bolero under the Latin sun, offering families a name that dances effortlessly between boy and girl. This unisex gem, pronounced RAY-lee (/ˈreɪli/), traces its roots to the hearty spirit of Gaelic Riley—an echo of valor on the breeze—and to Old English fields where rye rippled like golden waves in a summer siesta. In the United States, it’s a quietly growing favorite: just 13 babies wore it in 2024, landing Railey at rank 937 after a journey that saw it rise from the mid-800s in the mid-’90s to a cozy top-900 spot today. Its gentle ascent feels like discovering an old family photo full of alegría, warm smiles and whispered stories. Lighthearted yet strong, Railey wraps around a little corazón like a well-worn shawl, promising both charm and courage in every syllable.
