History & Origin

Mayelli has no documented etymology. It appears chiefly in Spanish-speaking communities in the Americas, close in sound to Mayeli, Nayeli and Yareli. Nayeli is widely glossed as a Zapotec name meaning 'I love you,' but that explanation is disputed in the sources and in any case belongs to Nayeli rather than to Mayelli. We therefore present Mayelli honestly as a modern coinage of uncertain route (said 'my-EL-ee').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, bright, and newly emerging.

Did you know? Nayeli, Mayelli's nearest neighbour, is often glossed as Zapotec for 'I love you' - a gloss that is itself disputed, and one Mayelli cannot borrow.
