Shaylee may be derived from the Old English word 'sceaga' meaning "copse, thicket" and the Old English word 'leah' meaning "clearing, meadow". The surnames Shaw and Shay are derived from the OE word 'sceaga'. Lee and ley are the most common ways to spelling 'leah' now. If there is a Celtic origin to the name - which there may well be - I can't find any real evidence of it.
Sorry if that's not of much help.
