Baley is a variant of Bailey, an Old English and French gender-neutral name meaning “bailiff,” “steward,” or “berry clearing. The surname Bailey was used by stewards and governmental officials in the Middle Ages. Bailey can still be commonly heard around Scotland to describe an officer in the courts. This name also has lots of connections with nature—Bailey is linked to the Old English words beg, meaning “berry,” and leah, meaning “woodland clearing.” Baby Baley is bound to be as sweet as freshly picked berries.
