Kingsley

Kingsley is a name with English origins, derived from a surname that comes from the place name 'King's Leigh', meaning 'the king's meadow'. It was originally a locational surname, given to someone who lived near or owned such a meadow.

While traditionally a masculine name, Kingsley has gained popularity as a unisex name in recent years, particularly as a feminine name. This trend reflects the growing acceptance of gender-neutral or gender-bending names in modern naming practices.

As a feminine name, Kingsley has a regal and sophisticated air, conveying a sense of strength and authority. It may appeal to parents who desire a unique and unconventional name for their daughter that stands out from more traditional feminine names.

Despite its masculine origins, Kingsley can be a striking and empowering choice for a girl's name, symbolizing leadership, power, and a connection to nature through the reference to a meadow.
