Orlie is Hebrew in Origin.
Orlie is a compact, unisex given name with several converging sources. Most commonly it is a modern respelling of Hebrew Orli/Orly (or + li), meaning "my light." In English contexts it also appears as a pet form of Orville and as a variant of the surname-based Orley/Orleigh, from Old English ora "bank, slope" + leah "wood/clearing," yielding the sense "clearing by the bank." Some bearers associate it with the French place-name Orly, ultimately from Latin Aureliacum "estate of Aurelius."
Records show Orlie for American boys in the late 19th and early 20th centuries; since the mid-20th century, the Hebrew form has driven greater use for girls, while the name today reads comfortably gender-neutral. Spellings and close variants include Orli, Orly, Orlee, Orley, Orleigh, and Orlye; related names are Orla and Orville. Orlie blends vintage charm with a bright, modern meaning, making it versatile across cultures.
