Name Meaning
English: perhaps a habitational name from Wetherley in Barrington (Cambridgeshire); or perhaps in some cases from Witherley (Leicestershire). The Cambridgeshire placename derives from Old English wether ‘wether, castrated ram’ + lēah ‘wood, woodland clearing’; the Leicestershire placename derives from the Old English personal name Wīgthryth + Old English lēah.
