      The name Shaylee has its origins in the United States and is a combination of the names Shay and Lee. The first element, Shay, is derived from the Irish name O'Shea, which means hawk-like or admirable. The second element, Lee, stems from the Old English word leah, meaning wood or clearing.

      In terms of historical usage, Shaylee is a relatively modern name that gained popularity during the late 20th century.
