Bexley

Bexley Origin and Meaning

The name Bexley is a boy's name.

Bexley is a masculine name with English origins derived from a place name in London, combining the Old English elements 'byxe' (box tree) and 'leah' (clearing or meadow). This gives the name a natural meaning of "clearing where box trees grow." Bexley has recently gained popularity as a given name following the trend of using English place names and surnames as first names. It carries an aristocratic British feel while remaining modern and fresh. Though traditionally used for boys, Bexley has also gained some usage as a unisex name in recent years. Its combination of the trendy 'ex' sound and the familiar '-ley' ending makes it appealing to contemporary parents seeking something distinctive yet accessible.
