Grantli is in Origin.

Grantli is a modern, streamlined respelling of the English surname-given name Grantley/Grantly. Those surnames arise from a place name (e.g., Grantley in North Yorkshire) and from the elements grant, from Anglo-Norman French meaning “great” or “tall,” and -ley, from Old English leah, “woodland clearing, meadow.” As a byname it appears in British records by the 17th century and later in the peerage as Baron Grantley (1782). It began occasional use as a given name in the 19th century, following the fashion for surnames as first names.

The -i ending gives Grantli a lighter, contemporary feel and makes it plausible for any gender. Likely pronunciations are GRANT-lee or GRANT-lye, with GRANT-lee most common.
