What Does The Name Shelby Mean?

Shelby is a beautiful name that refers to a shelter where willows can grow free. This girl’s name originates in England and is more or less pronounced how it appears: Shel-bee, with the emphasis on the second syllable. There are plenty of other names which are quite similar that you might want to consider, and they include Bailey, Sydney, Paige and an incredibly popular first name for girls: Olivia.

This is a name that doesn’t seem to be as trendy as it once was for newborns. Whereas 2003 statistics show that this name was the 94th most popular name for young girls (placed 208th when boys names are included in the statistics), Shelby has slipped quietly down the charts to being 185th popular in the girls rankings, and the 400th most-used name for brand-new babies on the planet.  Now: This can really be seen as a good thing. Because fewer children are being named Shelby in today’s world, it definitely means that your young child will stand out from the crowd and be their own individual!

Shelby is a great girl’s name for any countries that speak English as a main language, and it’s certainly very cute, up in the ranks against Ellie, Emily and Maisie for being some of the most delightful names that you can pick. Nickelodeon has established the Parents Connect service which allows expectant mothers and other curious visitors to find out the meaning of potential names, while also scouring the ranks for information.
