Use of Brylee grew sharply in the 2000s, appearing in the U.S. Social Security top 1000 for girls during that decade and the 2010s; it sees occasional use in Australia and New Zealand as well. Though sometimes used for boys, it is predominantly feminine. Common variants and spellings include Brylie, Bryleigh, Brylea, Bryli, Bryley, Briley, and Brilee; nicknames include Bry, Bree, and Lee. Interpreted meanings often combine its roots as “noble meadow” or “hill meadow.”
