Modern invented name; possibly a variant of Kylie or Nye.
Nylie is a contemporary American invention, likely created as a blend of the popular name Kylie and the surname-turned-first-name Nye. It may also be interpreted as a diminutive of the Welsh name Nye, meaning 'honor'. As a modern creation, it lacks a singular historical etymology but follows current naming trends favoring the 'ie' ending.
