History & Origin

Rexley is a new name built from old parts: Rex (Latin, 'king') and the ubiquitous English place-and-surname ending -ley, from Old English leah, 'meadow; clearing'. It joins a whole family of modern -ley boys' names — Bexley, Waverley, Kingsley — and its routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'REKS-lee').

It appears only rarely in U.S. use. Rare, regal-sounding, and modern.

Did you know? Rex is Latin for 'king' and -ley is the Old English for a meadow or clearing — so Rexley reads as 'king's meadow', though as a modern coinage the routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'REKS-lee').
