Harley
Harley is an English surname derived from the Old English words 'hara' meaning 'hare' and 'leah' meaning 'clearing' or 'meadow'.
It originally referred to a clearing or meadow where hares were found, and was likely a place name before becoming a surname.
As a given name, Harley gained popularity in the late 20th century, possibly influenced by the Harley-Davidson motorcycle company.
While the name has a strong, masculine sound, it has also been used as a gender-neutral name in recent years, appealing to parents who prefer unisex names.
