Rilee Origin and Meaning
Rilee is a feminine name that represents a modern, feminine variation of Riley, which originated as an Irish surname meaning 'valiant' or 'courageous.' This spelling variant gained popularity in the early 2000s as part of the trend toward names with unique spellings. The double 'e' ending gives it a distinctly feminine touch compared to the unisex original. While less common than Riley, Rilee has attracted parents seeking a softer, more obviously feminine version of the name.
