The name Raylee is a modern combination of Ray and Lee. This would give the name the meaning ‘famous protector of the clearing’ but Raylee was probably created due to its sound and not the meaning.
Raylee is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.

Raylee is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Raylee cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #792 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2017. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Raylee, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their daughter. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Raylee seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.

You may not know anyone named Raylee, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 35 states are home to women and girls named Raylee. (To be fair, a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s entirely possible that there are still a few women and girls named Raylee living in one state or another. If your name is Raylee and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In Oklahoma, which has the most people named Raylee relative to the population, you still have to ask 7,711 women and girls their names before you hear Raylee as an answer just once.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter R is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for girls' names: 4.1% of all common girls' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of girls' names are A and S, while X and U are the least common initials of girls' names.
With six letters, the name Raylee is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
Thus, it follows that if 4.1% of all girls' names start with an R, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: Rebecca is the girls’ name starting with R, which is the most common of all.
If your name is Raylee and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
