A name that means "courageous (modern feminine spelling of riley)".

Rylee is the modern American feminine spelling of Riley — from the Irish Raghallaigh (courageous, valiant). Rylee Goodrich — American TikTok creator. Rylee Saunders — American gymnast. Rylee Bonaventura — American athlete. The Irish surname Raghallaigh is associated with the Connacht province in western Ireland; the name's modern surge as a feminine given name in the US parallels the broader Irish surname-to-given-name trend (Kennedy, Reagan, Cassidy, Quinn).
