Facts About
Oxley
Oxley 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 a combination of the Old English words oxa and leah meaning ox and a cleared area. Therefore towns with this name would have originally have had an area of land cleared for ox to live. |
