Origin:British
Meaning:South meadow
Sulley is a boy’s name of English origin. Meaning “south meadow,” this surname-turned-given name is a slight respelling of Sully, a name most well known for its connections to famed pilot Sully Sullenberger. This particular version, however, has a brilliant connection of its own in Disney and Pixar’s classic film, Monsters, Inc. James P. Sullivan, a.k.a. Sulley, is a giant blue and purple furry monster who becomes the guardian to the human child Boo. Baby is sure to love this heartfelt story and their brand new name!
