Ashleigh

Ashleigh is a girl's and boy's baby name of Old English origin, an alternate spelling of Ashley, from the Old English æsc (ash tree) and leah (meadow or woodland clearing), meaning 'ash tree meadow.'

With over 31,800 recorded births, Ashleigh is one of the more common variant spellings of the hugely popular Ashley. The -leigh ending has a particularly British and Australian quality, giving this spelling a transatlantic elegance. Ashley was the #1 girls' name in the U.S. for much of the 1980s and 90s, and Ashleigh captures all of that classic appeal with a more visually distinctive form.
