Tinleigh is an unusual and distinctive name of recent origin. It is believed to have been created as a blend of two popular names for girls: Tinley and Leigh. The name Tinley has its roots in English place names, such as Tinley Park in Illinois or Tinley Manor in South Africa, while Leigh is derived from the Old English personal name Leofgyth, which means "noble combat". However, there is no evidence to suggest that Tinleigh was used historically and it appears to have been invented in recent years. Despite its modern origin, Tinleigh has gained popularity as a unique alternative to more traditional names like Tinley or Leigh. It is often associated with the outdoorsy vibe of places named Tinley, and may evoke images of nature, simplicity, and freedom. Overall, Tinleigh is an appealing choice for parents looking for a distinctive name for their daughter that still has a familiar ring to it.
The name Tinleigh experienced a notable increase in popularity between 2010 and 2014, with the highest number of births recorded in that year at 47. However, it appears to have declined thereafter, with the most recent years showing a consistent decrease, reaching its lowest point in 2023 with only 14 births recorded. Over the entire period from 2010 to 2023, there were a total of 318 babies named Tinleigh born.
