Ayrlea is English in Origin.

Ayrlea is a modern Scottish-English creation that blends the place-name Ayr, a river and coastal town in Ayrshire, with the Old English element leah or ley meaning wood clearing or meadow. It is also interpreted as an embellished spelling of Airlie or Arlie, the Scottish surname and place in Angus linked to the Earls of Airlie. Taken together, Ayrlea conveys the pastoral sense of meadow by Ayr or clearing by the river.

As a given name, Ayrlea is very rare and appears chiefly from the late 20th century onward in English-speaking countries, fitting the contemporary fashion for -lee and -leigh endings. Usage skews feminine but remains comfortably unisex. Variant spellings include Ayrlee, Ayrley, Ayrleigh, Airlea, Airlee, Airley, Airlie, Aylea, and Aylee; related short forms are Ari, Aya, and Lee or Lea. Its fresh, place-inspired sound suits parents seeking a subtle Scottish nod without a common, traditional form.
