Renley is a modern American coinage that pairs the syllable Ren, as in Wren, with the -ley ending of Kinley and Finley; it has no traditional meaning beyond the "wren" that many parents hear in it. The near-identical spelling Renly belongs to a character in Game of Thrones, which put the sound into circulation in the 2010s. Renley had fewer than five births a year in 2000, stood at number 6412 in 2015, reached number 1173 in 2024 and ranks number 1314 in 2025.
