Mayli
Meaning of Mayli
Mayli is a contemporary feminine name that combines the English month-name May—symbolizing renewal—with the Persian root māy, which evokes nectar or wine, alongside the affectionate suffix -li prevalent in Persian and Turkic naming traditions. The fusion yields a meaning akin to “spring’s beloved nectar,” as vivid as dew on a rose at dawn. Pronounced MAY-lee (/meɪleɪ/), Mayli first entered the US top 1000 in the early 2000s and has experienced a steady ascent, rising to 86 occurrences (rank 864) in 2024. These figures reveal an analytical trend: parents are drawn to names that marry multicultural resonance with phonetic clarity. In a dry aside, one might note that a child named Mayli carries just enough whispered promise to brighten even the most stoic boardroom—much like the Persian spring it evokes.
