Ayrli is English in Origin.

Ayrli is a modern, stylistic spelling built around the air‑lee sound, most closely related to the Scottish place‑name Airlie and the vintage given name Arlie/Arley. As a place‑name, Airlie refers to a parish and castle in Angus, seat of the Earls of Airlie; while its precise etymology is debated, in given‑name use it carries a distinctly Scottish, nature‑rich aura. Through Arlie/Arley it also connects to Old English leah “clearing, meadow,” often interpreted with earn “eagle” or hara “hare,” yielding meanings such as “eagle wood” or “hare meadow.”

In naming history, Airlie has long appeared as a title and surname and later found modest given‑name use in Scotland and the Antipodes, while Arlie peaked in the United States around 1900. Ayrli itself is contemporary and rare, favored for its light, breezy feel. Variants and cognates include Airlie, Airly, Airely, Airlee, Arlie, and Arley; short forms Ari, Air, and Lee are common.
