Riely Origin and Meaning

The name Riely is a boy's name.

Riely is a masculine name representing a modern variant spelling of Riley. Originally an Irish surname derived from 'Ó Raghailligh' meaning 'descendant of Raghallach,' it has transitioned to first-name status in recent decades. The name carries connotations of valor and resilience, as 'Raghallach' relates to being brave or valiant. This specific spelling with 'ie' rather than the more common 'Riley' gives the name a distinctive touch while maintaining its phonetic pronunciation. Riely has gained modest popularity as part of the trend toward using surnames as first names and the appreciation for Irish heritage. The name's friendly sound and unisex qualities (though traditionally more common for boys) add to its contemporary appeal.
