Wrenlee
Meaning
variant of Wrenley, an elaboration of Wren (the songbird) with the popular -ley suffix
The story
Wrenlee is as new as an American name gets: about 105 girls in the 2010s, about 2,900 so far this decade, and no earlier appearance in the published record. Behind the Name reads it as a variant of Wrenley, an elaboration of Wren, the name of the small songbird, with the popular -ley suffix, an ornament rather than a meaning. That honesty matters: no meadow hides in the ending, and the suffix is worn openly as decoration. The bird does the real work anyway: Wren is simply the English word for the songbird, borrowed whole, and Wrenlee gives it an extra syllable of ribbon. A name in its very first chapter, being written at full speed, with feathers, and with about twenty-eight times its 2010s total already on the page.
