Wesley (name)
Wesley is a name with an Anglo-Norman etymology.

Thus, the name's origin refers to a "western lea," or a field to the west.

Wesley Foundation
{{methodism A Wesley Foundation is a United Methodist campus ministry sponsored in full or in part (depending on the congregation) by the United Methodist Church on a non-church owned and operated campus.
