Meaning & origin
Arelie is a modern American coinage, first recorded in 2002. It reached its peak rank of 14,942 in 2011, placing it among the rarest names tracked by the Social Security Administration. Its trajectory has been stable, never achieving widespread use. The name is likely a respelling of the more familiar Arielle, adapting the fashionable '-lie' suffix. With only a single known birth per year in many cases, Arelie remains a uniquely rare choice.
Arelie first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2002, likely as a creative respelling of Arielle or Ariel. The name Ariel has Hebrew origins (אֲרִיאֵל, 'lion of God'), used in the Bible as a symbolic name for Jerusalem. In modern times, Arelie follows a pattern of names ending in the fashionable '-lie' sound, gaining modest use in the 2000s and early 2010s.
