History & Origin
Aleli is the Spanish flower name alheli, the wallflower or stock, a sweet-scented bloom of old walled gardens.

As a given name it is used in Latin America and, thanks to the Spanish colonial era, in the Philippines (said 'ah-LEH-lee').
It appears only rarely in the U.S. Rare here, floral, and lyrical.
