Maelie

Maelie is a feminine and melodic French name that owes its origins to the Breton culture, like its male counterpart Mael. It shares the same meaning of 'chief' and has a soft, lyrical quality that makes it particularly appealing to the ears. While it's not commonly found outside of France, it's a beautiful alternative for those looking for a unique yet culturally rich name. The gentle sound of Maelie lends itself well to nicknames like Mae or Ellie, adding flexibility for parents who love options.
