Ashely Origin and Meaning

The name Ashely is a girl's name.

Ashely is an alternative spelling of the more common Ashley, a name originally derived from an Old English place name meaning 'ash tree clearing' or 'meadow of ash trees.' This variant spelling gained some popularity in the late 20th century as parents sought to give traditional names unique twists. While Ashley (with the standard spelling) reached peak popularity in the 1980s and 1990s when it was consistently among the top girls' names in the United States, Ashely has always remained less common. The name carries the same natural woodland associations and crisp sound as the traditional spelling but stands out as slightly more distinctive, though it may require frequent spelling clarification.
