Modern English word name from 'cinder', the partly-burned residue left by a fire. A rare, directly fire-derived coinage rather than a historically established given name.
An English habitational surname, generally explained from Old English elements ending in 'leah' (wood, clearing, meadow); it is sometimes connected to places such as Annesley ('Anne's meadow'). Now used mainly as a girl's given name. The exact first element is uncertain.
Cinder and Ensley are given to a similar number of US babies today.
