Wheatlea

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: British

Meaning: Wheat field; White meadow

Wheatlea is a variation of Wheatley and closely related to Whitney, meaning "white meadow" and "wheat field." The name came together by combining two Old English words, hwīt, and lēah, which translate to "wheat" and "clearing," respectively. Inspired by the beauty of nature, as with Whitney, baby's new moniker takes its meaning from the cliffs of Dover and the meandering River Wye. Little Wheatlea may grow up to feel a tight bond with all that nature offers and eventually settle down somewhere surrounded by white meadows and wheat fields.
