Atley is a modern feminine name with origins as an English surname derived from Old English elements meaning 'at the meadow' or 'at the clearing.' While traditionally used as a family name, it has transitioned to first-name status in recent decades, initially for boys but increasingly for girls. This reflects the contemporary trend of repurposing surnames as given names and the movement toward gender-neutral options. Atley has a fresh, contemporary sound with its combination of the strong initial 'A' and the trendy '-ley' ending that echoes popular names like Ashley, Hadley, and Kinsley. Though still relatively uncommon, it has gained modest popularity in English-speaking countries since the 2010s, appealing to parents seeking a name that sounds both modern and grounded with a subtle connection to nature.
