Weatherley

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: British

Meaning: Wether-sheep meadow; Wood, wood clearing

Weatherley is a variant of Wheatherly, an English surname that is also used as a gender-neutral first name. It is derived from the Old English wether, which, at the time, referred to a male sheep, and lēah, which means “wood” or “wood clearing.” This can be interpreted to mean “whether-sheep meadow,” making a fitting name for your little Wheatherly, who is sure to be as peaceful as sheep in a meadow.
