Renley is a modern name thought to combine the Old English elements *hræfn* (raven) and *leah* (clearing), giving it the meaning ‘raven meadow’. It also follows the popular Scottish trend for -ley names such as Finley and Henley, lending it a contemporary, surname-style feel. While no famous historical figures share the name, it has appeared in popular culture as the character Renley in the television series *The 100*. Its sound echoes the Scottish place name Renfrew, offering a subtle local connection. The variant Kenley, with a similar structure, is another modern choice in the same vein. Renley remains a fresh, distinctive option for parents seeking something both modern and evocative.
