Ashli Origin and Meaning

The name Ashli is a girl's name.

Ashli is a feminine name representing a modern spelling variation of Ashley. Originally an Old English surname meaning 'ash tree clearing' or 'meadow of ash trees,' Ashley transitioned to first-name usage for boys before becoming predominantly feminine in the 20th century. The Ashli spelling emerged during the 1970s-1990s when alternative spellings became fashionable. This variation maintains the name's natural woodland associations while offering a more distinctive appearance. Ashli peaked in popularity during the 1980s and early 1990s when Ashley was a top-ten name in the United States. The name conveys a contemporary, casual elegance and retains the nature-connected meaning of the original. Though less common than the traditional spelling, Ashli offers familiarity in sound with individuality in appearance.
