Ashleigh is English in Origin.
Ashleigh is a modern -leigh variant of Ashley, an English surname-turned-given name from Old English æsc 'ash tree' + lēah 'clearing, meadow,' yielding the sense 'ash tree clearing' or 'dweller by the ash grove.' The -leigh spelling echoes the historic element lēah found in English place-names and is typically pronounced like Ashley.
Used as a masculine given name in Britain and the United States through the 19th and early 20th centuries - famously borne by Ashley Wilkes in Gone with the Wind - it shifted largely to feminine use from the 1960s onward, peaking in the 1980s–1990s. Ashleigh emerged chiefly in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand as a stylistic, often feminine, spelling; it also saw U.S. popularity in the 1990s. Related forms include Ashley, Ashlee, Ashlie, Ashlea, Ashly, and the short form Ash; nicknames include Ash and Leigh. Meaning remains 'ash meadow/clearing.'
