Reilli is Irish in Origin.
Reilli is a modern respelling of the Irish/English unisex name Riley/Reilly, pronounced RYE-lee. From Irish heritage it comes via the surname O Raghallaigh, "descendant of Raghallach," a medieval personal name typically glossed as "valiant" or "courageous," though its exact root is uncertain. In parallel, the English Riley traces to Old English ryge "rye" + leah "clearing," meaning "rye clearing."
As a surname, Reilly is tied to the powerful O'Reilly clan of medieval Ireland; it began crossing into given-name use in the 19th century and surged late in the 20th, when Riley-style spellings became widely adopted. Today the name is comfortably unisex, skewing feminine in recent years. Close variants include Reilly, Riley, Rylee, Rylie, Ryleigh, Ryley, Reilley, and Reily; the surname form O'Reilly remains common. Short forms include Ry.
