Braylei is a modern, invented name created by American parents in the late 20th century, combining elements from various sources, including English, Irish, and Latin languages. Its first part, "Bray," possibly inspired by the sound made by donkeys or an Irish surname meaning 'spacious,' blends with "ley," a Latin suffix denoting fields or meadows. Braylei evokes expansive landscapes and musicality without direct translation or historical association, allowing each bearer to create their own legacy.
