Meaning & origin

Jeily is a modern feminine name that entered U.S. birth records in 2002, part of a wave of creatively spelled J-names ending in -ley or -ly. It reached its peak rank of 8,860 in 2011, but has been on a downward trend since around 2010. As of 2025, the name is given to approximately 1 in 146,115 girls, reflecting its niche but persistent use. Unlike many names from its era that have state-level concentration, Jeily has no top states of popularity, suggesting a scattered, low-profile usage across the country.

Jeily first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2002, suggesting a modern coinage. It follows the popular pattern of creating feminine names by combining the initial J with the trendy -eely or -ley suffix, seen in names like Kaylee and Hailey. There is no known historical or linguistic root.
