Meaning & Origin
A male given name transferred from the surname.
Harlee is a girl's and boy's baby name of Old English origin, a feminine variant of Harley, from an English place name meaning "hare meadow" or "long meadow," from the Old English hara (hare) and leah (clearing). The -lee spelling gives it a distinctly feminine character.
Harlee has grown alongside the broader love for Harley as a name — with associations ranging from the freedom of Harley-Davidson motorcycles to the charismatic Harley Quinn of DC Comics fame. The softer -ee ending makes it feel warm and distinctly feminine in American usage.
