Tinlee is of American origin, derived from 'Thinley', which is Tibetan. It means 'I hold you firmly'. This name, while unique and uncommon, exudes strength and stability, much like its meaning suggests.
The name Tinlee has seen a notable rise in popularity since its first appearance in 2003 with only five births that year. By 2015, the number of babies named Tinlee had more than doubled each year consecutively from 2014 to 2016, peaking at 54 births in 2016. However, this trend appears to have reversed since then, with a steady decline in popularity, dropping below 30 births per year after 2017. The most recent years show a continued decrease, with only 19 births recorded in 2022 and 17 in 2023. Overall, there were a total of 432 babies named Tinlee from 2003 to 2023 inclusive.
