Mylee

Girl name · 24 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Mylee: 24 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 7 births in 2012.

Mylee is a modern, phonetic variant of the classic name **Miley** or **Molly**, itself ultimately derived from the Irish name **Máire**, the Gaelic form of **Mary**. This traces its roots to the Hebrew name **Miriam**, meaning "beloved" or "wished-for child". While there are few historical figures bearing the exact spelling "Mylee", the name's popularity in Scotland from the 2000s onward was boosted by the global fame of American singer and actress **Miley Cyrus**, who brought the spelling **Miley** into the mainstream. There are no prominent place connections specific to this name. A note of interest: the spelling **Mylee** is a distinctly Scottish and Australian preference, offering a modern twist on the more common **Miley** while keeping the same cheerful, contemporary feel.
