We publish a meaning only with a cited source and a confidence label, and never generate one. Meanings are being researched for the most common names first.
Wikidata records this spelling as a given name in Italian. That is where the name is used, not necessarily where it comes from.
No related spellings pass our data threshold.
Rare spellings summarised here: Galilee (648), Galileo (530), Galileah (273), Galylea (45), Galileia (5).
Numbers are all-time US births. Links come from Wikidata’s “said to be the same as” (P460, CC0) and our spelling rule: at most two letters different, with the same sound pattern.
