Meaning & origin
Billi is a rare given name in the United States, first recorded in 1915. It never entered the top 1000, so it is considered a truly uncommon choice. Its peak usage occurred in 1976, and since then it has remained stable with only a handful of annual births. As a variant of Billie or Billy, it shares the friendly, familiar sound of those names but with a distinct spelling. Billi is almost exclusively given to girls, and it has no strong ties to any particular state or region. For parents seeking an unusual name with a vintage feel, Billi offers a simple, approachable option.
Billi is primarily a modern diminutive or pet form, often used as a feminine variant of Bill or Billy. It likely emerged in the early 20th century, with its first recorded U.S. use in 1915. The name saw modest popularity in the 1970s, peaking in 1976, but has remained uncommon since.
