Atlee Origin and Meaning

The name Atlee is a girl's name.

Atlee is a feminine name of English origin, derived from an Old English surname meaning 'at the clearing' or 'at the meadow.' It was traditionally used as a place name and surname before transitioning to a given name. With its connection to nature and pleasant meadow imagery, Atlee evokes a sense of openness and tranquility. The name has experienced periodic usage throughout the 20th century but remains relatively uncommon, giving it distinctive appeal. It gained some recognition through association with British Prime Minister Clement Attlee (though with a different spelling). As a first name, Atlee fits well with contemporary trends toward short, nature-inspired names with historical roots. Its simplicity and gentle sound make it accessible, while its rarity offers individuality for those seeking a name that stands apart from popular choices.
