Meaning & Origin
A surname.
Wylie is a boy's and girl's baby name of Old English origin, from the English surname derived from a place near the River Wylye in Wiltshire, possibly meaning 'tricky stream' or 'winding river,' from Old English wilig (willow, or possibly relating to a winding course).
Wylie has the relaxed, friendly energy of names like Riley, Finley, and Bailey — but with a slightly more masculine, less common feel. There's a warm, slightly mischievous spirit to Wylie that makes it feel simultaneously old-fashioned and perfectly current.
