Healey
Healey is a locational surname coming from any of the places so-called or similarly spelled across Britain. Locational surnames were traditionally given to someone who had moved away to a new area, whereby they were assigned the name of their original home as a surname to differentiate them from the other townspeople. The place name itself comes from the Old English ‘heah’ which meant high up, combined with ‘leah’ meaning woods. Places with this name would have been located next to a raised area of land for example a hill with foliage growing over it. |
