Arelys Origin and Meaning

The name Arelys is a girl's name meaning "the voice of God".

Arely is on the rise in all forms for Hispanic and Latin American baby girls - and Arelys is no exception. Nearly ten times as popular in 2023 as it was in 2024, Arelys is a name with Biblical ties that sounds both on trend and sparky, but sweet and gentle too.

Arelys is likely a feminized form of Areli, meaning "the voice of God" or "the lion of God". Alternatively, it might have come about as a shortened form of Aracelis or Araceli, meaning "sky altar".

Given to nearly 70 girls in 2023, Arelys got an extra boost from the Spanish-language Netflix series Arelys Henao.
