Heili

Heili is a proper noun that may refer to a given name or, less commonly, to place names in some Nordic and Baltic language communities. In onomastic contexts, Heili is used as a feminine given name and has been recorded in Estonia and Nordic countries since the late 20th century. The precise origin of the name is uncertain; some sources suggest a connection to religious or sacred elements common in Germanic-derived naming traditions, but there is no consensus.

Usage and demographics: Heili remains relatively uncommon, and most instances occur in local or regional name lists rather than in national populations. The name is sometimes spelled Heli in related languages, which can lead to variation in pronunciation and spelling across communities.

Geographic and cultural notes: There are no widely recognized cities or major places named Heili. When it appears in toponyms, it tends to be in small locales or as part of compound names rather than as a standalone geographic name.
