The surname Lindley has its origins in England, specifically in the village of Lindley located in West Yorkshire. The name is derived from the Old English words "hlinc" and "leah," which mean "a hill" and "a clearing in a woodland" respectively. This suggests that the original Lindley family resided near or on a hill in a wooded area. The surname dates back to at least the 13th century, with the first recorded spelling of "de Lindelay" in 1275.
However, in terms of Irish descent, the surname Lindley has a separate history. It is believed that during the 17th century, some Lindley families migrated from England to Ireland. These families may have been part of the English plantations in Ireland or individuals who settled in Ireland for various reasons.
Over time, the Lindley surname became more common in Ireland, particularly in the northern counties. Many Lindley families in Ireland can trace their ancestry back to the English Lindleys who migrated there. The name may have undergone some modifications in spelling and pronunciation due to regional accents and dialects.
Today, individuals with the surname Lindley of Irish descent can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world where Irish migration has occurred. The name Lindley continues to carry the heritage and history of these families, connecting them to their English and Irish roots.
