Name Meaning

English (Wiltshire and Gloucestershire): nickname from Middle English sle(i)gh ‘sly’ (Old Norse slœgr), which in the 12th–13th centuries developed the sense ‘skillful, expert’, but also ‘crafty, guileful, underhand’. In the North, this word became slee, while in the South and Midlands it became sligh, sly.
