Redley
r(e)-dley,
red-ley
Origin:British
Meaning:Red clearing; Cleared meadow
When you choose the name Redley for your little one, a certain color will appear more vibrant than it ever did before. From fall leaves to sunset skies, you'll think of sweet Redley every time you look at these sights. Originally an English habitational last name, Redley makes a lovely alternative to Radley, Henley, and other gender-neutral first names. It likely derives from rēad and lēah, two Old English elements that translate to "red clearing." Whether red flowers grow within it or fall is in full swing, a meadow or clearing can appear crimson! Other sources link Redley's first three letters to ryd, another Old English element meaning "cleared." The definition it creates, "cleared meadow," will remind your child of the importance of caring for the Earth and allowing green spaces to flourish.
