Rawli is a modern given name, likely a phonetic respelling of English surname-names Rawley/Rowley and Raleigh; by sound it also parallels Finnish Rauli. In English-speaking countries it is very rare before the 2000s, adopted as a unisex twist on those established forms, while the underlying surnames trace to medieval English place names.

Its English roots come from Old English leah “wood, clearing” paired with either ra “roe deer” (hence “deer meadow,” as in Raleigh) or ruh “rough” (“rough clearing,” as in Rowley). Seen through the Rauli lens, it links to the Germanic Radulf/Ralph, from rad “counsel” + wulf “wolf,” yielding “wise-wolf.” Variants and relatives include Rawley, Rowley, Raleigh, Rowlie, Rawl, Rauli, Ralph, Raoul, and Raúl; nicknames Rawl, Row, or Rolly.
