What does the name Wrenleigh mean?
Wrenleigh is a very recent American girls' name. It appears to join Wren, the name of a small songbird, with the -leigh ending of names such as Everleigh and Oakleigh, like the similar name Wrenley. Neither Wiktionary nor Wikipedia has an entry for it. Because the combination was chosen for its sound, the name has no meaning of its own beyond its parts.
How sure is this? Not documented. A modern blend; the reading Wren + -leigh is from the spelling, not a documented source.
Pronunciation: The W is silent.
