Meaning & Origin

Paisleigh is a girl's baby name of Scottish Gaelic origin, an elaborate spelling of Paisley, from the Scottish town of Paisley, itself from the Gaelic basilica (church), meaning 'basilica, church' — referring to the ancient abbey that defined the town.

The -leigh spelling adds extra feminine flourish to this distinctive name — and Paisley itself has been rising sharply in American naming, loved for its association with the swirling paisley textile pattern, the town's Scottish heritage, and musician Prince's Paisley Park studio. Paisleigh takes all that and makes it even more emphatically a girl's name.
