Solei is in Origin.
Solei is a modern, nature-evoking given name modeled on the French word soleil, "sun," and typically pronounced so-LAY. Dropping the final -l creates a sleek, phonetic spelling favored in English-speaking countries. The sound also resonates with Icelandic Sóley (meaning "buttercup," from sól "sun" + ey "island") and with Romance-language words and names like Sol and Sole, all reinforcing imagery of light and warmth.
As a given name, Solei has seen modest use since the early 2000s, rising with other solar and luminous choices such as Soleil and Sunny. It is used chiefly for girls but remains technically unisex. Common variants and near-variants include Soleil, Soley, Sóley, and Soleigh; related forms include Sol and Sole. Nicknames like Soli and Lei are natural, and some parents translate the meaning as "Sunny." Overall, Solei carries the meaning "sun; sunlit; radiant," with a bright, contemporary feel.
