Name Meaning

1 English: nickname from Middle English litel ‘little’ (Old English lȳtel) + eye ‘eye’ (Old English ēage). Compare Mussey . Some post-medieval bearers given here may alternatively belong to (2) or (3).

2 English: formally it could be a locative name derived from Old English lȳtel ‘little’ + ēg ‘island’, but no such place-name is known. It cannot be decided whether the surname of this origin has survived or whether some bearers under (1) belong here.

3 English: locative name from Likeley Wood in Wickham Bishops (Essex), which is recorded as Litlehey in 1340, or from any of the numerous other places with names deriving from Old English lȳtel + gehæg ‘little enclosure’, such as Littley Green in Great Waltham, Littley Wood in Wethersfield, and Littleys in Ashdon (all Essex), Litley in Cheadle and Little Hay in Shenstone (both Staffs).
