Combination of May and Lily or bitter and meadow
Maylie is a modern American coinage, likely created as a blend of the month name May and the floral Lily, or as a variant of the Hawaiian name Maile. In an English context, it combines the roots of Mary (bitter) and Lee (meadow). It follows the popular trend of 'ee'-ending names while remaining distinctive.
