Bingley Origin and Meaning

The name Bingley is a boy's name of English origin meaning "hollow clearing; people of the woodland clearing".

Originally used as a habitational surname for someone from a town of the same name in the North of England, Bingley is perhaps best associated with the good-natured Charles Bingley in Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Yet to catch on, it's a literary choice that might make an alternative to Briggs or Bradley, and could get you to zingy nickname Bing, without having to commit to using the name of a search engine.
