Meadow of ash trees
Derived from the Old English elements 'æsc' (ash) and 'lēah' (wood, clearing, or meadow). It originally served as a surname and a masculine given name before becoming a popular feminine choice in the late 20th century. This specific spelling is a simplified, less common variant of the more traditional Ashley.
