What is the meaning of the name Perlie ?

The baby name Perlie is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced PER-lee; IPA: /ˈpɜːrli/ (UK), /ˈpɝli/ (US).

Perlie is English in Origin.

Perlie is an English pet form and variant of Pearl, the gemstone name. Pearl entered English via Old French perle from Latin perla, denoting the lustrous gem associated with purity, wisdom, and rarity; it is also June’s birthstone. The form intersects with several linguistic traditions: Perla in Spanish and Italian, Perle in French and German, and Yiddish Perl/Perle, all carrying the same “pearl” meaning. Because spellings were fluid, Perlie often appears alongside Pearlie, and it sometimes overlaps with the New England masculine name Perley (from a surname), giving it occasional unisex use.

The name saw most of its usage in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the US and UK, during the vogue for jewel names such as Ruby and Opal, before fading to rarity. Related forms and variants include Pearl, Pearlie, Perley, Perla, and Perle; modern nicknames might be Peri, Perri, or Lee.
