Reillie is Irish in Origin.
Reillie is a modern stylistic spelling of the surname‑turned‑given‑name Riley/Reilly, used for all genders. It can follow two etymological paths: Irish Reilly, from Ó Raghallaigh “descendant of Raghallach,” a medieval personal name often interpreted as “valour, bravery”; and English Riley, from Old English ryge + lēah, “rye clearing/meadow.” Thus Reillie blends notions of courage with a rustic place‑name image.
Adopted in late‑20th‑century Anglophone respelling trends, Reillie stays rare beside Riley and Reilly but aligns with Rylee, Rylie, Ryleigh, Reilley, and Reiley. Use is strongest in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the UK, leaning feminine in recent years yet remaining unisex. Most pronounce it RY‑lee; REE‑lee occurs occasionally. The O’Reilly/Reilly clan of Breifne, rooted in County Cavan, anchors the surname’s historic profile.
