Charliee is a modern feminine spelling of Charlie, first recorded in U.S. birth data in 2012. Its peak popularity occurred in 2018, after which its usage began to decline; by 2025, its trajectory has been falling since 2017. The name remains relatively rare, with a 1-in-267,878 frequency in the latest year. Charliee has not been associated with any particular state or region, as no top state data is available. As a creative respelling, it fits a trend of unique feminine names ending in 'ee' sounds.

Charliee is a modern feminine spelling of Charlie, which originated as a pet form of Charles. Charles derives from the Germanic element *karl* meaning "free man." The name Charles was introduced to England by the Normans and became popular among royalty. The spelling Charliee, with the double 'e,' emerged as a contemporary variant, likely influenced by names like Ashlee and Kilee.
