Meaning & origin
Thaily is a modern, rare name for girls that first entered U.S. records in 2002. It reached its peak popularity in 2011 and has since declined, ranking 7,491 in 2025 with only about 1 in 114,805 newborn girls receiving the name.

Given its recent origin, it does not appear in any top states or historical records, and no well-known bearers have emerged.
