Gurlie is English in Origin.
Gurlie is a rare feminine given name with Scandinavian roots, most often treated as a variant of Gurli/Gurly. Gurli arose in Sweden and Denmark as a pet form of older Germanic and Norse names, especially Gudrun and sometimes Gertrud. Related forms include Gurli, Gurly, and Girlie; Norwegian cousins are Guri and Guro. Pronounced GUR-lee.
It appears in Swedish and Danish records from the late 19th to early 20th century, when domestic-style diminutives were fashionable, and occasionally traveled with emigrants to North America. Use declined after mid‑century but persists sporadically. Meanings follow its parent names: from Gudrun, Old Norse Guð + rún, “god” + “secret, rune,” often glossed “secret lore of God”; from Gertrud, Germanic ger + þruþ, “spear” + “strength.”
Gurlie is exceptionally rare. Across 3 countries, we found just 6 recorded uses of it.
