Arelys
2025 SSA
About Arelys
Arely has seen a spike in popularity among Hispanic and Latin American parents in recent years, and variant Arelys has also received more attention as a result. A name with Biblical ties and an on-trend sound, Arelys was a fast rising choice back in 2023, when it was given to ten times the number of babies it was given to the year prior.
Arelys is likely a feminized form of Areli, meaning "the voice of God" or "the lion of God". Alternatively, it might have come about as a shortened form of Aracelis or Araceli, meaning "sky altar". Whichever route you follow, it has a spiritual vibe about it.
Given to nearly 48 girls in a recent year, Arelys got an extra boost from the Spanish-language Netflix series Arelys Henao.
Pronounced ah-REL-iss.
As of October 2026, Arelys ranked #4891 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #2556 in 2023.
