There are thousands of words to describe how brave baby will be. Burly is undoubtedly one of them, and lucky for parents, it’s become quite a common family name in the UK, with many iterations used as first names. Birly, a prime example, is a beautiful name for boys that comes from Old English. A variant of Burley, it translates to “stronghold” or “fortified settlement” but can also mean “field” or “clearing.” Strength, confidence, country charm—there’s so much to love about Birly and the expression it takes after.
