Meaning:Gray meadow; Marked as by hail
Greely is a masculine moniker of English origin, meaning “gray meadow.” It derives from the surname Greeley, but works just as well as a given name in its own right. Conjuring up images of a moody, gray-skied day and rolling fields of green, this name feels like it encapsulates the atmosphere British Isles perfectly. Alternatively, the name could have roots in French, where it is said to come from the word greslet, meaning “marked as by hail” or “pock-marked,” which further intensifies this stormy but strong choice.
