The name Foxley is a boy's name of English origin meaning "fox's clearing, fox's meadow".

A surname-style choice, Foxley has a similar feel to the popular Wrenley, that is, it blends that popular -ley suffix with an animal name. Given to 4 boys in 2025 in England and Wales having made its debut back in 2017, Foxley may sound too much like foxy for some, but not too wordy for others.
