Ridleigh

A respelling of Ridley, Ridleigh stems from a last name borne by people living near a "reed meadow" or "reed clearing." Reed habitats provide a home for rare wildlife, but it's essential to maintain them so they don't grow into other habitats like forests. Living close to reeds was once quite beneficial, because reeds can be harvested and used in a variety of crafts and roof-thatching.
