Yareli

"Yareli is a girl’s name of Brazilian origin that's also very popular in Mexico. As a variant of the Brazilian names Yara and Iara, Yareli finds its roots in Tupí, a language and people indigenous to Brazil. In Tupí-Guaraní mythology, Iara is borne by a mermaid-like goddess figure, and her name derives from the Tupí word îara. Descriptions of her vary from being a warrior-maiden to a cunning siren. No matter the legend, Iara is widely revered as a powerful being. Meaning ""lady of the water"" or “lady of the lake,” Yareli is perfect for the little one here to make big waves."
