Adley

Adley is a modern name with more than one proposed connection, including the English surname Hadley and the Hebrew name Adlai. Those routes have different histories, and a similar sound is not enough to establish which one produced a particular Adley. A single confident religious or landscape meaning would therefore oversimplify the name.

It is used for boys and girls, but the intended origin does not have to follow a child’s gender. Families may choose it to echo a relative’s name, prefer its two-syllable sound, or preserve an existing family spelling. If a specific Hebrew or English heritage connection matters, comparing Adlai and Hadley directly can help clarify the choice.
