Wrigley
Meaning of Wrigley
Wrigley is an Anglo-American charmer that began life as an English surname—most likely pointing to a “clearing by a winding meadow” in old Lancashire—and later rose to fame on the sweet scent of chewing gum and the roar of Chicago’s beloved ballpark. He wears his history lightly: unisex, easy on the tongue (RIG-lee), and still uncommon enough to feel fresh, with U.S. birth records hovering only in the low double-digits each year. For sports fans, the name carries the warm crack of a summer fly ball at Wrigley Field; for sweet-tooths, it has the minty wink of a stick of Juicy Fruit. Yet even parents with no stake in baseball or bubblegum hear a friendly lilt in Wrigley’s two clean syllables—crisp, playful, and just a bit unexpected. Choosing Wrigley is like stepping into a sunny clearing yourself: familiar enough to feel at home, but open enough for a child to make entirely his or her own.
