Definition of the name Harley

My supervisor is having a baby in a few days and she has yet to reveal Baby D's name. All this baby stuff got me wondering what the definition of the name Harley is for both a boy and a girl.

The girl's name Harley, ha(r)-ley, is pronounced HAR-lee. It is of Old English origin, and the meaning of Harley is "hare meadow". Notable in modern times as a female name due to actress Harley Jane Kozak. The name of a great motorcycle, the Harley-Davidson.

The boy's name Harley, ha(r)-ley, is pronounced HAR-lee. It is of Old English origin, and the meaning of Harley is "hare meadow; the long field". May also possibly mean "rocky meadow" or "eagle meadow". Familiar as the name of a great motorcycle, the Harley-Davidson.
