What is the meaning of the name Sayali ?

The baby name Sayali is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced sə-YAA-lee.

Sayali is Marathi in Origin.

Sayali is a feminine Marathi name written सयाली in Devanagari. The earliest relevant form for the personal name is the Marathi plant name sayālī/sayali, applied to Jasminum multiflorum, the star jasmine or downy jasmine. The word is not securely traceable to a specific classical Sanskrit lemma, despite occasional Sanskritized explanations; in naming use its literal sense is the flower itself, a small white jasmine with clustered, star-shaped blossoms.

The name is most closely associated with Maharashtra and Marathi-speaking families, and it also appears in Hindi or English transcription among Indian communities. Spellings vary with transliteration: Sayli and Sayalee are common, while Saili, Sailee, and Saily reflect attempts to show the long final vowel. Public bearers include actress Sayali Bhagat and Marathi actor Sayali Sanjeev. In the United States it has appeared only sporadically in birth data, chiefly in the 2000s.
