A Finnish short form of [ALEKSANTERI].

Also widely used in Kazakhstan; written as "Әли" in Kazakh Cyrillic and "ٴالىي" in Kazakh Arabic. [noted -ed]
Girls named Alexis, Alexandra, Allison, Alison, Alicia, Alessandra, Alana, Alyssa, etc. Spell it Alli, Allie, Ally, Aly, Alley. Boys say it Ah-lee. Girls say it Ahl-ee. Boys spell it Ali.
Ali is also a given name in Turkey.
It seems that whenever Westerns need a Muslim name for something or the other, they always choose Ali, which is only pronounced ah-LEE and never AH-lee.
Ali is not just a boy name because I am a girl and that is my nickname. In fact I do not know any boy that has that nickname! They always go with Alex!
