Linlee

US Popularity Rank: 16928

Origin: British

Meaning: Flax meadow; Linen

Wrap baby in a blue linen blanket with the English gender-neutral name Linlee, a variant of Linley. The Old English origins of this name are lin, meaning “flax,” and leah, denoting “clearing.” Combined, these two words bring forth images of a meadow of soft blue flowers, tying into the name’s meanings of “flax meadow” and “linen.” These delicate blossoms are commonly transformed into a sturdy fabric, reflecting how baby will grow in strength throughout the years.
