Bentley

Bentley was originally an Old English surname and the meaning of Bentley is 'a clearing covered with bent grass'. It is made out of two Old English words: beonet, meaning ‘bent grass’ and leah, meaning ‘clearing' or wood’. The name was traditionally given to those who lived in coarse meadows or settlers who moved onto land that was 'untilled', which means not prepared. Today Bentley is famously known as the luxury car brand, which is owned by the Volkswagen Group. They were created by Walter Owen Bentley in 1919 and still have a reputation around the world as being one of the most exclusive and expensive cars to own today. Another famous association with the name is Wes Bently, an American actor who is best known for his roles as Ricky Fitts in his film 'American Beauty' and Doyle in Chris Nolan's hit film 'Interstellar'. Bentley is still considered as quite an uncommon name, having only crept into the Top 100 boys' names in the United States 12 times.

Lucky

Bentley lucky number is 2.

Within numerology, the 2 vibration assumes the role of the mediator, creating harmony by bringing together dissonant forces through compassion, empathy, and kindness. 2 is linked to psychic abilities and intuition, and if this number appears as a Life Path or Destiny Number, the individual will be astute to subtle energy shifts and emotional nuances. Because 2 is so sensitive, it is very conflict-averse, and can end up feeling under-appreciated or unacknowledged. 2 must avoid seeking external validation and, instead, realize that perfect equilibrium needed already exists within.
