Reillee is Irish in Origin.

Reillee is a modern, stylistic respelling of the unisex name Riley/Reilly, pronounced either RY-lee or REE-lee depending on family preference. It draws on two intertwined sources: the Irish surname Reilly (from Ó Raghallaigh, “descendant of Raghallach,” a personal name of uncertain meaning) and the English place-name Riley, meaning “rye clearing” (Old English ryge + leah). The Irish Reilly is tied to a prominent medieval clan centered in County Cavan, while the English place-name appears in various counties.

As a given name, Riley/Reilly appears in English-speaking records from the 19th century and rose sharply in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, particularly for girls, while remaining solidly unisex in the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia. Reillee reflects contemporary -ee spelling trends. Close variants include Riley, Rylee, Rylie, Rilee, Reilly, Reily, Rileigh, and Railey. The most common interpreted meaning is “rye clearing.”
