Greeleigh

Greeleigh is a sweet respelling of Greeley, a name that has Irish and English origins. Its Irish roots hold ancestral charm as an Anglicized variant of the last name Mag Raoghallaigh, meaning "son of Raoghallach." Greeleigh's English roots link it to the Old French word greslet, an Anglo-Norman nickname for someone who had a textured complexion. From here, Greeleigh means "marked as by hail," "pitted," or "pock-marked." While this may seem unappealing, Greeleigh can remind your child that true beauty comes from within and speak to their unique characteristics. Greeleigh also has Old English roots with the nature-infused translation "gray meadow," which can refer to a rocky landscape or rich wetlands.
