Naleigh
Meaning of Naleigh
Naleigh feels like a sunbeam skipping across a spring meadow—bright, breezy and utterly charming. A modern American invention, it marries the crisp “Nay” with the gentle “Leigh” (Old English for “meadow”), and even hints at the spirited Gaelic echo of Neely—“champion” or “cloud”—so little Naleigh can grow up with both tenacity and whimsy in her pocket. Pronounced nay-lee (/neɪˈli/), the name has been quietly stealing hearts in the U.S., hovering around 8–14 newborns each year between 2010 and 2014 and sitting just inside the top 1,000. Picture a confident toddler chasing butterflies by name, then imagine her as a clever teen whose moniker is as unique as her own bright ideas—that’s the story Naleigh carries wherever she goes.
