Anslie
Anslie Origin and Meaning
Anslie is a feminine name with Scottish origins, derived from the place name Ansley, meaning 'one's own meadow' or 'hermit's meadow.' It's a variant spelling of the more common Ainsley or Ainslee. This elegant name combines natural imagery with a touch of independence in its meaning. While not among the most popular girls' names, Anslie has been appreciated for its gentle sound and distinctive quality. The name gained some recognition in English-speaking countries during the late 20th century but remains relatively uncommon, offering individuality without being completely unfamiliar. Its soft pronunciation and ending with an 'ie' sound gives it a feminine quality while still maintaining a certain strength. Anslie works well for parents seeking a name with Celtic roots and a subtle natural connection.
