Mylie is English, Irish in Origin.
Mylie is a modern English given name, a variant spelling of Miley/Mylee. The name Miley gained currency in the United States; its etymology is debated: it may be a transferred use of the Irish surname Miley (often linked to Irish Gaelic Maol- names meaning “devotee”), or a playful diminutive modeled on “smiley.” Because of these strands, Mylie can suggest cheerfulness, or - via the Gaelic root maol, “devotee” - a sense of dedication.
As a given name, Mylie emerged in the early 21st century, paralleling the rapid rise of Miley through pop‑culture exposure, and it remains the rarer spelling. Variants and near‑variants include Miley, Mylee, Myleigh, Myley; related choices are Myla, Kylee, and Rylee. Short forms include My, Mimi, and Lee. Usage is concentrated in English‑speaking countries, where its modern, phonetic styling and soft -ie ending give it a friendly, approachable tone.
