Meaning and origin of Wrenley
Wrenley is an American (modern coinage) and English name that is usually said to mean “modern blend of Wren and -ley”.
Wrenley is a modern American name that combines Wren, the tiny songbird, with the popular ending -ley, from the Old English leah, a clearing or meadow. Wren itself comes from the Old English wrenna. In European folklore the wren was called the king of birds, and it is admired for its loud song despite its size. Wrenley has a fresh, nature-inspired sound, joining names like Oakley and Hadley. Wren is the obvious nickname, and the spelling Renley is sometimes used for boys.
