Westley

Meaning of Westley

Westley (pronounced WEST-lee) sprouts from Old English roots that paint a “western meadow,” and the name still feels like fresh grass under a glowing sunset. He carries the swashbuckling sparkle of the charming hero in “The Princess Bride,” yet his vibe is relaxed, almost like a siesta under a Spanish sky. Parents have quietly favored him for more than a century, and recent U.S. charts show Westley stepping forward again, quick-footed and confident. He sounds familiar but not common, polished but never stiff—think cowboy boots polished for a quinceañera. With a meaning that whispers open horizons and an adventurous spirit that hums “¡vámonos!,” Westley promises a life story that begins in a peaceful field and races toward bold new frontiers.
