Charleigh Origin and Meaning

The name Charleigh is a girl's name meaning "free man".

The popular -leigh suffix is clearly an attempt to feminize this traditionally boyish nickname -- and it works. There were about 550 baby girls named Charleigh in the US last year -- and zero baby boys.

That's in contrast to Charlee, which is mostly but not 100% female. And the traditional spelling Charlie, which is almost equally split between boys and girls.
