Wrenley means wren meadow — combining the tiny songbird wren with the -ley meadow suffix. It's the compound that puts the smallest, loudest bird in the biggest, greenest field. Two syllables of enormous-voiced-tiny-bird meets English-countryside pastoral. The name that proves the smallest things sing loudest when given enough meadow.
