Origin
Meaning and history of Addilee
The given name Addilee is a modern invention, likely derived from the combination of the names Addie and Lee. Its origins can be traced back to the late 20th century or early 21st century, with no evidence of its existence prior to that time period.
Addie is a diminutive form of the name Adeline, which itself is a variation of the Germanic name Adalheidis, meaning "noble type." The name Lee has its roots in the Old English word "leah," meaning a meadow or a clearing in a forest. While the individual components of Addilee have historical roots, the name itself is a relatively recent creation.
There are no known historical references or mentions of the name Addilee in ancient texts, religious scriptures, or historical records. However, the name has gained popularity in recent decades, particularly in the United States and other English-speaking countries.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Addilee is Addilee Grace, born in 2004 to American parents. Since then, the name has slowly gained traction, though it remains relatively uncommon.

FAQ
Addilee: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Addilee?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 262 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Addilee going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 1,308,223 US residents.
Is Addilee a common name?
We classify Addilee as "Very Rare". It ranks above 77.7% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 264 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Addilee most popular?
The single biggest year for Addilee was 2014, when 29 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Addilee is about 10 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Addilee in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Addilee a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Addilee in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Addilee still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Addilee in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Addilee can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
