The original Irish form of Riley, Ó Raghallaigh, denotes "from/of Raghallach", the name Raghallach thought to be derived from the compounds ragh (meaning "race") andceallach(meaning "sociable"). However, the given name may also mean "Valiant".

Riley can be derived from the Old English "rye clearing."

It is also a variant of Reilly, which is derived from the Irish name of Raghailleach. The meaning of this is unknown.
