What is the meaning of the name Lali ?

The baby name Lali is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced LAH-lee (IPA: /ˈlɑli/).

Lali is Armenian, Georgian, Persian in Origin.

Lali is a multi-origin feminine name found across several languages. In Georgian (ლალი) it literally means “ruby,” evoking the deep red gemstone, and is used as an independent given name. In Indo-Aryan languages such as Hindi and Bengali, lāl/lālī denotes “red, blush, rosy hue,” so Lali functions both as a term of endearment and as a stand‑alone name; it also appears as a familiar short form of Lalita (from Sanskrit, “playful, charming”).

In Romance contexts, Lali serves as a pet form of Eulalia/Eulalie/Eulália and sometimes of Catalan Laia, and it sees occasional independent use in Spanish‑ and French‑speaking countries. The name has steady 20th‑century usage in Georgia and is common across South Asian diasporas. Variants and related forms include Laali, Lalie, Lally, and Lalli; see also Lale (Turkish “tulip”) and Lala (varied roots) as near‑forms. Meanings cluster around jewel‑like radiance, redness, and graceful playfulness.
