What does the name Wrenly mean?
Wrenly is a spelling of Wrenley, pronounced the same way, so it shares Wrenley's meaning and origin.
Wrenley is a very recent American girl's name that joins Wren, the small songbird, with the popular -ley ending of names like Hadley and Everly. Neither Wiktionary nor Wikipedia has an entry for it. The wren part comes from the English bird name, Middle English wrenne, which also became a surname, but the full name is a modern blend chosen for its sound rather than an old name with its own meaning.
How sure is this? Not documented. A 21st-century blend (Wren + -ley); no dictionary entry.
Related names: Wren, Wrenlee, Renley.
