Ainsley is a distinctive and elegant given name of Scottish origin, derived from the Gaelic word 'Ainslie', which means 'our own meadow'. It is primarily used as a boy's name but can also be used for girls. The name gained popularity in England during the late Middle Ages due to its association with Saint Aengus, the patron saint of poetry and music. Throughout history, it has been borne by several notable individuals, including Ainsley Harriott, the British television chef, and Ainsley Gotto, the English cricketer.
