Marley Genealogy, Meaning & History

Early Marley family history is derived from Old English words that mean "mearth" or "pine marten" and "clearing." The surname was probably used as a topographical one to identify families living in this type of location. Marley was also a place name for those living in Morlaix, in Brittany, which was a peninsula located in the northwestern region of France. This may indicate the beginning of the move of this surname out of England and into surrounding areas. Early records of Marley genealogy can be traced all the way back to the 12th and 13th centuries in England, with some of the first appearances showing up on the Fine Court Rolls in 1242. Spelling variations for this surname abound, and include some common derivations like Marlay, Marly and Maroley.
