In many baby name books, Shelley is listed as meaning "From the meadow on the ledge" or "clearing on a bank". It is Old English in origin. As with many other names (Ashley, Courtney, etc), Shelley is a name given almost exclusively to girls after historically being male. Shelley is also a transferred surname used by those in Essex, Suffolk and Yorkshire, particularly in settlements where a wood/clearing was beside a ledge or hillside.

A. Think about the time in which she was writing. Women had very little voice about anything. Men called all the shots. Had Shelley attempted to involve a female voice in her book, it would probably never have been published.
