Bailey

Bailey is a popular English name and is also pretty commonly used in countries around Europe. It is said to be derived from the Old French word ‘baillif’. A bailiff was an officer of the king’s court, usually someone who handled the administrative work or who was the steward in the court. Alternatively, it is also believed that Bailey comes from ‘baily’, a Middle English word signifying someone who resides near the palace walls or by a well-fortified town. Bailey is also the name of a town in Lancashire. Lancashire got its name from the Old English words ‘bēg’, which means ‘berry’ and ‘leah’, which translates to ‘clearing’. Thus, the meaning of Bailey can be concluded to be mean ‘berry clearing’, ‘bailiff’, or ‘the one from the fortified lands’. Bailey Hanks and Bailey Marie De Young are some of the best-known figures with the name Bailey in Hollywood. Bailey Wright is a professional footballer who plays for Sunderland.
