Areli for girls#1262 US
In Hebrew, Areli is a masculine name borne by a minor character in the Bible, and combining the appealing sounds of Ari and Eli and giving it the meaning "lion of God". In this case, it would be pronounced as uh-REE-lye.
As a Spanish name, it may well be a variation of the Hebrew name, however, it could equally be a contracted form of Araceli. Pronounced slightly differently and with the softer ah-REH-lee sound, it's likely that it was this celestial Spanish influence that pushed Areli into the US popularity charts in the 2000s. Alternative spelling Arely has made the Top 1000 in recent years.
Pronounced ah-REH-lee.
As of October 2026, Areli ranked #8969 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #6259 in 1989.
