Realey is Irish in Origin.

Realey is a modern Anglophone given name, likely a creative respelling blending Irish Reilly and the English -ley suffix. Through the Irish surname Ó Raghallaigh (Reilly), it connects to the personal name Raghallach, commonly glossed as "valiant" or "courageous." Through the English toponymic pattern with -ley from Old English leah "clearing, meadow," it aligns with Riley, often read as "rye clearing" (ryge + leah). Thus Realey can carry senses of bravery or of a meadow, especially a rye meadow.

As a given name, Realey is rare, seen occasionally as a late surname variant in British and Irish records and rising recently with the boom of Riley/Reilly spellings. It is used as a unisex choice in contemporary English-speaking countries. Related forms include Reilly, Riley, Reily, Reiley, Ryley, Rylee, Rylie, Raeley, Railey, and Realy; short forms are Ray, Ree, and Lee.
