What is the meaning of the name Chadleigh ?

Chadleigh is English in Origin.

Chadleigh is an English toponymic-style given name formed from Chad + leigh. Chad descends from the Old English personal name Ceadda, borne by the 7th-century Saint Chad, and the element -leigh comes from Old English leah, "woodland clearing, meadow." The composite is read as "Chad's meadow/clearing," though some link Chad to Brittonic cad, "battle," yielding the poetic gloss "battle meadow"; the exact root of Ceadda, however, is uncertain.

As a given name, Chadleigh is rare and modern, surfacing in the late 20th and early 21st centuries as an elegant elaboration of Chad and in keeping with English surname and place-name fashions. Usage is primarily in the UK and North America and leans masculine, yet the -leigh ending also supports occasional unisex use. Variants include Chadley (the simpler -ley spelling), Chadly, Chaddley, and Chadlie; related choices are Chadwick and Chadd. Common nicknames are Chad, Chaddy, and Lee.
