Meaning: Well farm; Farmstead by a spring; Settlement by a stream

Wellby is a masculine name with English and Norse connections, acting as a fun spin on the last name Welby. Coming from the Old English wella and the Old Norse bý, it can translate to “well farm,” “farmstead by a spring,” or “settlement by a stream.” However you interpret it, this name can create lovely visuals of rural areas by the water.
