History & Origin

Bexli is a modern American spelling of Bexley, a place name in Kent now a London borough. The old form is generally explained from Old English elements meaning 'box-tree' and 'wood or clearing.' The x gives the name its punch, and the -li ending is a current spelling habit rather than an inherited form, so routes are uncertain (said 'BEKS-lee').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, punchy, and newly emerging.

Did you know? Bexley is a London borough whose Old English name is usually read as 'box-tree clearing' - and the trimmed Bexli spelling has become a fresh American girls' name.
