Meaning & Story
An English surname or first name, possibly meaning 'well-fortified place'.
Welby has gentle, English-countryside charm — the kind of name that pairs naturally with tweed and Sunday walks. It suits a sweet, calm-tempered pet, maybe a long-eared spaniel or a fluffy Persian. The name carries quiet sophistication without being pretentious. Welby is a lovely choice for owners who appreciate understated, classic British names.
