Yaelis
Meaning of Yaelis
Yaelis is a modern feminine name of Hebrew origin—essentially a variant of Yael, meaning “mountain goat”—that has gained particular resonance in Spanish-speaking communities, where it is pronounced yah-EL-ees. Although it remains relatively uncommon in the United States (six newborns in 2024, ranking 944th), its steady appearance in national records over the past decade points to a growing appreciation for names that balance linguistic heritage with contemporary style. With two soft, well-proportioned syllables, Yaelis conveys both independence and grace, while its subtle biblical roots lend a sense of timelessness without feeling overly traditional. Ideal for parents seeking a distinctive yet approachable choice, Yaelis bridges cultures with quiet confidence.
