Meaning & Origin

Blakeleigh is a girl's baby name of Old English origin, a feminine elaboration of Blake, from the Old English meaning 'pale' or 'dark' (both meanings have historical support), with the "-leigh" suffix (Old English for 'clearing' or 'meadow'). The combined name means essentially 'pale clearing' or 'dark meadow.'

Blakeleigh has the feminine elaboration quality of names like Kinsley, Hadleigh, and Brentleigh — taking a traditionally masculine surname and adding enough letters to make it distinctly feminine. It carries the confident energy of Blake with a softer, more elaborate finish.
