Meaning & Story
A Hebrew name meaning 'light' or 'my light,' derived from Hebrew 'or,' occasionally also associated with the French place name Orly, a suburb of Paris.
Orly shines in two syllables. The Hebrew meaning — light, my light — gives it a warmth and luminosity that suits a pet who brightens every room. It is also worldly enough to feel cosmopolitan: the name of a Parisian airport, a globally recognized place name, worn by a pet who somehow manages to seem well-traveled. Orly is unusual without being difficult, pretty without being precious, and deeply meaningful without being heavy.
