Hedleigh

If baby arrives when wildflowers bloom and spring awakens, celebrate by naming them Hedleigh! A feminine title, Hedleigh is a variant of Hedley, though its spelling mimics Harleigh, Henleigh, and other similar monikers. Just like many English names, Hedleigh originated as a place name, given to towns and villages with certain geographical features. Deriving from the Old English elements hǣth, meaning “heather,” and lēah, meaning “clearing,” Hedleigh means “heather clearing,” evoking images of tranquil plains and vibrant purple flowers. Whether your Hedleigh is happiest when running through vibrant fields or prefers to sit and admire the vast views, their name will always encourage them to cherish the peace they find in nature.
