"Blend of Mae and Leigh"
The name Maeleigh is commonly a female name from the "English" origin.
Maeleigh is a modern American formation that joins Mae, a variant spelling of May, with the ending -leigh. Leigh is an English surname that comes from the Old English word leah, a woodland clearing or meadow. The name is built the same way as other -leigh coinages that appear in United States birth records from the late twentieth century onward.
The pronunciation of Maeleigh is MAY-lee.
