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.

First given names from provincial and territorial vital statistics across Canada; any name-sex-year under 5 is excluded at source, and small Quebec counts carry a randomized adjustment made at source.

Not on the record in Spain, Mexico City, Argentina, Puerto Rico, England and Wales, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland and Poland: those registries withhold small counts, so rare uses may sit below their floors.
Not on the Chile record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 5 registrations in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the Montevideo record for 1940 to 2011: that registry withholds nothing, so this spelling was not given there in those years. Not on the France record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 20 births in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the South Australia record for 1944 to 2017: that registry withholds nothing, so this spelling was not given there in those years. Not on the Austria record for 1984 to 2025: Statistik Austria publishes every first name down to a single birth, so this name was not given there in those years (before 2010 the record covers babies with Austrian citizenship only). Not on Norway’s list: Statistics Norway lists only first names carried by 200 or more living people, so rarer names are not shown.
