Rielley is Irish in Origin.

Rielley is a contemporary respelling of Riley/Reilly, blending the Irish surname Reilly (from Gaelic O Raghallaigh, "descendant of Raghallach") and the English place name Riley ("rye clearing," from Old English ryge + leah). The Gaelic personal name Raghallach has debated roots, often interpreted as "valiant" or "courageous," while the English toponym gives a nature-based sense. Pronunciation is typically RYE-lee.

As a given name, Riley emerged from surname fashion in the late 19th century and rose sharply in the late 20th/early 21st centuries across the United States, Canada, Australia, and the UK, used for all genders and trending feminine in recent years. Rielley itself remains rare, chosen for distinctive spelling while retaining familiar sound. Related forms include Riley, Reilly, Rylee, Rylie, Ryley, Reilley, and Rilley; surnames O'Reilly and Reilly are cognates.
