What is the origin of the name Rayley?

Rayley is a English-speaking name. Rayley is a modern English name derived from the combination of "Ray" (meaning beam of light, from Old English) and the suffix "-ley" (meaning clearing or meadow, from Old English), thus literally meaning "ray's clearing" or "clearing of light." The name is primarily used in English-speaking cultures, particularly in contemporary American and British contexts, with no significant historical or religious associations predating its modern coinage as a variant of similar names like Raleigh or Raylee.
