My daughter's name meaning?

Question

Baylee is my daughter's name and I was wondering if there are any other meanings for it besides "bailiff"?

Answer 1

It is of Old English origin, and its meaning is "berry clearing; bailiff; city fortification".

Hope this helps!

***Edit: Here's how another site (http://www.ancestry.com/facts/Bailey-nam... ) reiterates my first answer:

Bailey--

1) status name for a steward or official, Middle English bail(l)i (Old French baillis, from Late Latin baiulivus, an adjectival derivative of baiulus ‘attendant’, ‘carrier’ ‘porter’).

2) topographic name for someone who lived by the outer wall of a castle, Middle English bail(l)y, baile ‘outer courtyard of a castle’, from Old French bail(le) ‘enclosure’, a derivative of bailer ‘to enclose’, a word of unknown origin. This term became a place name in its own right, denoting a district beside a fortification or wall, as in the case of the Old Bailey in London, which formed part of the early medieval outer wall of the city.

3) habitational name from Bailey in Lancashire, named with Old English beg ‘berry’ + leah ‘woodland clearing’. ***

Answer 2

It took me a while to find anything other than bailiff, but I found this meaning. It's for the female name Baylee (French) - 'Courtyard within castle walls; steward or public official. Surname or given name.'

I hope you can find what you're looking for.
