Priests meadow
Derived from an English surname, this name originally denoted someone who lived near or worked on a meadow belonging to a priest. It combines the Old English words 'preost' (priest) and 'leah' (wood, clearing, or meadow). While traditionally a surname, it has transitioned into a modern given name for girls, often associated with a southern-preppy aesthetic.
