Jilyae is in Origin.

Jilyae is a rare contemporary given name, most often treated as a modern blend. Pronounced JIL-yay or ji-lee-AY, it can fuse Jill (a short form of Gillian/Juliana from Latin Iulianus, “youthful”) with Yae, a Japanese element meaning “multilayered, double” (as in double‑petaled blossoms). Its sound also echoes Korean Ji-ae, a feminine name whose hanja are commonly read as “wisdom/intellect” and “love/affection.”

Because Jilyae is not attested in historical records or traditional onomastics, usage appears chiefly in 21st‑century English-speaking settings, including creative African-American naming. Flexible spellings and variants include Jilya, Ji’lyae, Jilayae, Jilye, and Jill-yae; related choices are Jill, Juliana, Yae, and Ji-ae. Meanings parents attribute range from “youthful blossom” (via Juliana + Yae) to “wise love” (via Ji-ae). Usually chosen for girls but workable as unisex, it offers distinctive rhythm and compact nicknames such as Jil, Lyae, or Yae.
