Lindley ist in der Rangreihe der häufigsten Vornamen bei Yasni auf Platz 2868.
The name Lindley is derived from Anglo-Saxon:
Lind/Linden + Ley/Leigh/Lea
Linden= Lime Tree or Lime Wood
Leigh= Clearing or Meadow
So, 'Lindley' means "Lime Tree Meadow" or "Lime Wood Clearing".
The ancient Saxons primarily used Limewood for making their shields, and the word Ley/ Leah may also derive from the Old English word for Light or Bright.
As shields were used for protection in battle, the name 'Lindley' may be used poetically (as in sagas) to mean "Bright Shield" or "Light Protector"!
