Demilee

Girl name · 21 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Demilee: 21 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 5 births in 2000.

Demilee is a modern invented name, likely blending elements from names like Demi (of French origin, meaning 'half' or 'small') and Lee (an English surname meaning 'clearing' or 'meadow'). It has no ancient roots or traditional meaning, instead rising in popularity as a unique, feminine-sounding choice in the late 20th century. Though no famous bearers are widely recorded, the name shares its Demi- prefix with actress Demi Moore, who helped popularise the shorter form. There are no notable place connections. Demilee offers a fresh, melodic alternative to more common names like Emily or Amelia, and its sweetness has appealed to parents seeking something distinctive yet accessible in Scotland since the 1990s.
