The surname Ashley, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back several centuries. The name is derived from the Old English personal name "�scel", meaning "ash tree meadow". It was a surname that was often given to individuals who lived near a meadow or clearing filled with ash trees. The name Ashfield, which means "ash tree field", is also a variation of Ashley.
The Ashley surname can be traced back to Ireland, where it is believed to have originated in the County Limerick and County Cork regions. Many Irish families with the surname Ashley were part of the Anglo-Norman settlers who arrived in Ireland during the 12th century. These settlers brought with them the surname, which eventually became anglicized as Ashley.
Over the years, the Ashley surname has spread throughout Ireland, with notable concentrations found in the counties of Limerick, Cork, and Kerry. The name has also spread to other parts of the world, particularly to countries with a significant Irish diaspora, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia.
Today, individuals with the surname Ashley can be found all over the world, proudly carrying on their Irish heritage.
