Lally
l(al)-ly
Origin:Greek
Other Origin(s):Irish
Meaning:To babble, to prattle; Descendant of the speckled chief
Lally is a gender-neutral name with a notable, affable quality. Flowing easily from the tongue, it's no wonder Lally is often considered a variation of the Greek name Lalage, meaning "to prattle" or "to babble." Lally also finds roots of the Irish last name Ó Maolalaidh, later Anglicized to Mullally, which means "descendent of the speckled chief." No matter which origin calls to you, Lally's upbeat vibe just can't be beat.
