What does Bentley mean?
/ˈbɛntliː/2 syllables

Bentley began as an English surname and place name, from Old English beonet, meaning bent grass, and leah, meaning clearing or meadow -- so, a clearing of coarse grass. Today it's also widely recognized as the name of the British luxury car manufacturer.

Bentley has a polished, upscale ring to it, a name that suits a companion with an air of quiet sophistication, even if their favorite activity is rolling in the mud.
