Orli is a modern Hebrew given name (אורלי), pronounced OR-lee, formed from or (“light”) + li (“to/for me”), yielding the affectionate sense “my light” or “you are my light.” The components trace to biblical Hebrew - ’or appears in Genesis - while the compound follows a common modern Israeli pattern of combining a noun with the enclitic -li for endearment.

Used chiefly in Israel from the mid-20th century onward, Orli is most often feminine but can be unisex in contemporary usage. The chief variant is Orly, with alternate spellings Orlee and Orlie; related names include Ori (“my light,” often masculine/unisex) and Or (neutral “light”). Outside Israel it appears in Jewish communities in North America and Europe, remaining uncommon. Do not confuse it with the French toponym Orly or with the Slavic masculine Orlin (“eagle-derived”), which are etymologically unrelated.
