The surname Astley has a rich history, particularly among individuals of Irish descent. The name is derived from a place name, Astley, which can be found in various locations throughout England and Scotland. Interestingly, the Irish Astleys are believed to have their origins in the English variant of the name.
Astley originated from the Old English words "east" and "leah," which together mean "eastern meadow" or "eastern clearing." It is likely that the Irish Astleys can trace their ancestry back to English settlers who migrated to Ireland during the medieval period.
During this time, many English families moved to Ireland to establish new settlements and take advantage of the agricultural opportunities available. It is possible that individuals with the surname Astley were among these settlers, eventually becoming integrated into Irish society.
Over the centuries, the Astley name would have continued to be passed down through generations, solidifying its presence in Irish communities. Today, individuals with the surname Astley can still be found in Ireland, proudly carrying on their ancestral heritage.
