Name Meaning

English: habitational name apparently from Beckley in Sussex, which is no doubt also one of the sources of the surname Beckley . Beckley is named with the Old English personal name Becca + lēah ‘woodland clearing’. The development of [k] to [tʃ] is seen in some of the early forms of the placename. This surname is now rare in Britain.

Variant of Beeghly or Beighley , surnames of German origin.
