Bentley: Boys Baby Name Meaning

Bentley Baby Name

The name Bentley means ‘wood clearing or meadow’.

Bentley is the transferred use of an old Anglo-Saxon surname derived from a place name.

The Olde English word ‘beonet’ referred to bent-grass or reeds, and ‘lëah’ meant ‘wood clearing or meadow’, so the name Bentley originated as a location name indicating a clearing overgrown with bent-grass or reeds. 

The surname was developed in order to identify a person who dwelled in or hailed from a town so-called Bentley named for this topographical feature.

There are several such places throughout England including the counties of Essex, Suffolk, Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire.

The first recorded spelling of the name occurred in the 12th century and was rendered as ‘de Benetlega’. 

The name Bentley is also strongly associated with the British automobile; a name synonymous with wealth and luxury.

Famous people who share the name Bentley:

The American attorney Bentley Kassal and the English Conservative party politician Bentley John Heddle.
