Rye clearing or courageous
Ryliee is a modern creative spelling of the Irish surname Riley. It traditionally derives from the Gaelic 'O Raghallaigh', meaning descendant of Raghallach, which is associated with courage. Alternatively, it can stem from the Old English words 'ryge' and 'leah', referring to a meadow where rye is grown.
