Aili

Aili is a Finnish female given name, with the pronunciation aɪliː. It is the Finnish variation of the name Helga, via the Sami Áile, deriving ultimately from heilagr, meaning "holy", or "blessed". Ailikki is a diminutive.

Aili has also been used as an anglicised spelling of Eilidh, in this case with the pronunciation eɪli. Eilidh is a diminutive for Eilionoir, the Scottish version of Eleanor. The meaning of Eleanor is disputed, but the theory most supported by evidence is that it is derived from the Old Germanic name Adenorde, via the Provençal Alienor.
