Wrenleigh is a modern American coinage that combines the bird name Wren, meaning "wren" or "small songbird", with the fashionable ending -leigh, which comes from the Old English word for "meadow". It belongs to the same family as Wrenley, Everleigh and Oakleigh. The name was almost unheard of ten years ago: Wrenleigh ranked number 18726 in 2016, entered the top 1000 in 2024 and reached number 685 in 2025.
