Historical Context
Raylee is a recent English-language given-name form rather than a long-established traditional name. Its structure suggests the joining of Ray, used as a name and English word, with Lee, a familiar name element ultimately associated with a clearing or meadow in Old English. However, the precise route by which Raylee developed is not documented, so this cannot be treated as a settled etymology. Related modern spellings include Rayleigh and Raylie.
