Noble or meadow of the noble
Atalee is a modern American variation likely derived from the Hebrew name Athaliah, meaning 'God is exalted,' or a combination of the French 'Adelaide' and the English suffix '-lee.' It carries connotations of nobility and natural beauty. Its rarity makes it a distinctive choice for parents seeking a familiar sound with a unique spelling.
