Meaning: Hill; Descendent of Raghallach

Meet your new favorite invented name; the playful, modern, and sunny Brayleigh! This girl's name is of American origin and offers a few different meanings. There's some mystery as to which names it combines, but it may be rooted in Brynn, meaning "hill" in Welsh, and the Irish name Ryleigh or Reilly (from Ó Raghallaigh), meaning "descendent of Raghallach." Although Brayleigh may have not been around for centuries, your little one will undoubtedly build a legacy as ancient as Persephone and brilliant as Margaret!
