The name Naely is a girl's name of Spanish, Zapotec, Brazilian origin meaning "I love you; blessed, generous".

Naely could be a variation of the Zapotec Nayeli, with its sweet meaning of "I love you", or it could be a spin on the recently popular Nael ("blessed, generous"), or even of Nailea ("attainer"). The name has been predominantly used in Brazil, though a recent year saw it given to 7 American girls.
