The surname Handley has its origins rooted in Ireland. It is an anglicized form of the Gaelic name "Ó hAinle," meaning "descendant of Ainle." The clan associated with this name is believed to have descended from Ainle, who was a son of the legendary Irish king Conn of the Hundred Battles.

The Handley clan was primarily found in the province of Ulster, with pockets of settlements in counties such as Tyrone, Donegal, and Derry. They were part of the larger O'Neill dynasty, which held considerable power and influence in ancient Ireland. The O'Neill dynasty played a significant role in Irish history, particularly during the struggles against English rule.

Over time, as Ireland underwent anglicization, many Gaelic surnames were anglicized or translated to their English equivalents. The name "Handley" emerged as a result of this process. It is worth noting that alternative spellings of the name, such as Hanley, can also be found. This is a common occurrence in Irish surnames due to variations in pronunciation and regional dialects.

The Handley surname, like many Irish surnames, spread beyond Ireland's shores, particularly during the period of Irish emigration. Today, individuals with the surname Handley can be found in various parts of the world, especially in countries with significant Irish diaspora communities such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
