Likely a modern blend of May and Lily
Mayli is a contemporary American creation, most likely formed by combining the month name May with the popular suffix -li or -ly, or as a variation of the Hawaiian name Mele. It carries the fresh, springtime associations of the month of May alongside a playful, modern sound. Because it is a recent coinage, it lacks a singular ancient etymology.
About 50 girls were named Mayli in 2025.
