Adley is a lively little name with wanderlust in its vowels—some say she springs from Hebrew, whispering “God is just,” while others trace her to an old English meadow, a sweet “heather clearing” kissed by sun. Either way, she has been salsa-stepping up the U.S. charts, climbing from the high 900s at the turn of the century to the cozy 500s today. Her two crisp syllables feel bright and breezy, like biting into a churro fresh from the feria. Adley carries modern sparkle yet sounds instantly familiar, the kind of name that fits on a tiny bracelet and still leaves room for a heart doodle. She is warm, playful, and ready to paint everyday life with a hint of fiesta flair—perfect for parents who want a name as hopeful as a sunrise and as easygoing as a Sunday paseo.
