Kingsleigh

Meaning of Kingsleigh

The name Kingsleigh, articulated in English as “KINGZ-lee” (/kɪŋzliː/), is a modern elaboration of the Old English elements “cyning,” meaning “king,” and “lēah,” meaning “wood,” “clearing” or “meadow.” As such, Kingsleigh conveys a sense of noble openness or regal pasture—an evocative fusion of authority and natural expanse. Though its documented usage in the United States is relatively recent and modest—first appearing in the Social Security records in 2014 with five occurrences and rising to eight in 2024—its steady upward trajectory in rank (from 958th in 2014 to 942nd in 2024) suggests a growing appreciation for names that combine traditional Anglo-Saxon roots with a distinctive, contemporary twist. This name’s layered etymology and measured popularity make it particularly appealing to parents who seek a designation that harmonizes classic linguistic heritage with an aspirational, youthful resonance.
