Yeardley is an uncommon masculine name with English origins, derived from an Old English surname meaning 'from the enclosed meadow' or 'from the fenced clearing.' The name gained some historical significance through Sir George Yeardley, who served as governor of the Virginia Colony in the early 17th century. Though rare as a first name, Yeardley has an aristocratic, refined quality with its distinctive 'ley' ending that resembles other English place-based surnames. It conveys a connection to pastoral landscapes and English heritage, making it an uncommon choice for parents seeking a name with historical depth and understated elegance.
