Halley (surname)
Halley is a surname of English origin, meaning: one who lived at, or near the hall in the grove or open place in a wood. The derivation is probably from the Olde English pre 7th century use of Old English heall ‘hall’, ‘large house’ + leah ‘woodland clearing’. following enforced land clearances. At the height of the wool industry in the 14th century, whole villages in Derbyshire, were cleared to make way for sheep pastures. Combined with the later 18th century Highland Clearances it is estimated that there are between seven and ten thousand such villages that have disappeared from British maps. Following the introduction of personal taxation in the 13th century, in England, surnames became required. The earliest recorded use of the surname Halley is held in the village of Beeley, Derbyshire, England, for a witness called Georgii Halley, dated 27 January 1538. The Beeley parish church records show an Anna Halley, who was christened on the 27 December 1577 and an Eli ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
