Henly, of Old Norse origin, translates to 'home ruler'. This unique and robust name gained prominence during the Middle Ages but has seen a resurgence in recent years. It's often associated with the English surname Henley, which is believed to derive from the town of that name in Oxfordshire.
There were ten children named Henly born between 1922 and 1925, with five babies given this name each year during those two years.
