Nally is an uncommon given name of Irish origin, derived from the Irish surname Ó Néill, which translates to 'descendant of Niall'. The name Niall itself means 'champion' in Gaelic. While it's more commonly found as a boy's name due to its association with historical figures like Niall of the Nine Hostages, it can also be used as a girl's name. In recent years, there has been a slight increase in its usage for both genders. However, it remains relatively rare, making it an interesting and distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
"In 2004, there were five babies named Nally born annually."
