Warly's name origin

[kiwikenobi]

I was curious what Warly's name means, so I tried looking it up... And I couldn't find anything. Did Klei just make up a new name? Or is it a diminutive for some other name that I couldn't find? The closest name I could find was Warlin, but the name site that I found it on had no information on it. No country of origin, no meaning, nothing. I suppose it's possible that Warly is a nickname for some other name that isn't similar enough for me to find without already knowing what it is, like Hank for Henry or Peggy for Margaret, but I don't know what it is.

The only other thing I could find is that perhaps Warly is an adverb of "war," so, it would mean something like "in a warlike way," but Warly is so caring and friendly that it doesn't seem like a good fit, unless it's meant to be an ironic name or something.

Or maybe there's some pun that I'm missing. I've certainly done that before. ^o^;>

Warly is an existing name, it just doesn't really mean anything.

Where else does the name Warly exist outside of Don't Starve? I wasn't able to find anything, but maybe I just looked in the wrong place.

Sometimes, a name is just a name.

Klei running out of names that start with W. I actually knew a family with 4 kids all their names started with W.

are you sure they didnt work at Klei?

All right, so Klei just made it up. That's fine, it's a good name. I was just curious if it had any other meaning. Klei puts a lot of subtle hints in all kinds of places sometimes.

I might have found the name. It is usually spelled "Warleigh", less frequently "Warley", and it means "from the weir meadow". Here are the links: https://www.babynamespedia.com/meaning/Warleigh; https://www.sheknows.com/baby-names/name/warleigh/
