When combined with the Old English element leah, meaning “clearing,” it translates to “smith meadow,” “Smith’s farm,” or “clearing of the smiths.” The name Smedly combines the fiery vibes of blacksmithing with the peacefulness of nature, making it a well-rounded moniker for baby to enjoy throughout their life.
