EYEZ-leeListen

Eisley is a modern English name, most likely built from a surname rather than pulled from an older word, and it's used as a neutral choice, fitting for a child of any gender. It's pronounced EYEZ-lee, and it tends to show up on lists of bohemian, free-spirit, outdoorsy, nature-inspired names. You may come across claims that it means 'meadow or clearing' or 'cheerful,' but neither traces back to a real etymology — that idea appears to come from confusing Eisley with the name Ainsley.
