Shelby

Shelby is an English name with a warm and friendly tone, meaning 'willow farm'. It's a picturesque name that conjures images of pastoral landscapes and serene country settings. It became especially popular in the United States in the latter half of the 20th century, thanks in part to television characters and the iconic line of Shelby cars.

Nicknames such as Shel or Shelb are often used, and its enduring appeal makes it a favorite for many parents.
