About Galilea
Like the masculine form Galileo, Galilea is a variant of Galilee, a region in Northern Israel of great Biblical significance. Given the current popularity of soft Italian girls’ names, this name’s long historical roots, its beautiful sound and the potential for cute nicknames (Leia, Lil, Ally, etc) it’s no surprise that this name has been on the rise in recent years.
Pronounced gal-uh-LAY-uh.
As of October 2026, Galilea ranked #647 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #525 in 2016.
