How to say it
WREN · lee
/ˈrɛn.li/
Feminine
Wrenlee
Little bird, meadow
What it means
A modern coinage joining the bird name Wren to the popular -lee suffix.
Wrenlee stitches together two trends, the tiny brown songbird Wren and the soft -lee ending found in Rylee and Hadley. The wren is small, quick, and full of song, which gives the name a nature-sweet feel. There is no old root here, just a fresh American invention from the past decade. The W stays silent, so it is simply REN-lee.
