disagree  Eynat: You can't say that categorically. I have known 2 עלי, which is a Biblical name. I disagree with your statement '.. IS the spelling ...' - it's only one option. Probabilities don't come into it.

  -> Why disagree if the answer is not incorrect? And which spelling is it more likely to be? I put my money on אלי.

אלי, עלי


Explanation:
There are 2 options. The name Eli as such is a Biblical one, spelled עלי - ayin-lamed-yod. There is also Eli as an abbreviation of Eliyahu (usually - sometimes it's an abbreviation of Elinoam or other such rare names), spelled אלי - aleph-lamed-yod. Although the latter is more common, you can't ignore the first one.
