Wadly is a boy’s name that stems from Old English and has multiple meanings. It is a variant of Wadley, which means “ford meadow.” Historically a last name, it is thought to be a combination of the Old English name Wada and the word leah, meaning “woodland clearing.” An alternative possible origin is that the name was used to describe a location where woad, a plant used for its blue dye, was grown. Whichever of these origins you prefer, they all bring images of charming countryside to mind. Wadly is one-of-a-kind and the perfect name for a future nature-lover.
