Baily Origin and Meaning

The name Baily is a girl's name.

Baily is a feminine name with Old English origins, traditionally a surname derived from 'bailiff,' describing someone who served as a court officer or land manager. As a first name, it gained popularity in the late 20th century alongside similar-sounding names like Bailey, Baylee, and Bailee. This spelling variation offers a softer, more feminine feel while maintaining the approachable, casual charm of the name. Baily conveys a sense of strength and reliability while remaining youthful and fresh. Though less common than the Bailey spelling, Baily appeals to parents seeking names that work well from childhood through adulthood and bridge the gap between traditional and contemporary. The name's ambiguous gender association has made it increasingly used for girls.
