Name Meaning
habitational name from Bardsley in Ashton under Lyne, Lancashire, so named from the genitive case of the Old English personal name Beornrēd (composed of the elements beorn ‘young warrior’ + rǣd ‘counsel, advice’) + Old English lēah ‘woodland clearing’.
perhaps also a variant of Barnsley, a habitational name from Barnsley in Gloucestershire, since the early records of the placename show variation between spellings in Barnes-, Barndes-, and Bardes-.
