Origin:Greek

Meaning:Sun ray; Shining light; Bright one
Nelley, an utterly adorable name, exudes sunshine and charm with its English, Latin, and Greek roots. Derived from the delightful Nelly, it can be used as a standalone choice or as a darling nickname for Eleanor, Penelope, or Daniella. Like its variant Eleanor, meaning "sun ray" or "shining light," Nelley radiates brightness. With a possible connection to Helen, stemming from the Greek helenos meaning "bright one," Nelley paints a picture of a clever and cheerful child who brightens every space with their sunny-side-up attitude.
