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.

Places with this name would have been located next to a raised area of land for example a hill with foliage growing over it. |
