Henley

The origin of the name Henley can be traced back to Anglo-Saxon tribes who settled in Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. The name was given to the families who had originally lived in a town named Henley, which is in Oxfordshire. The meaning of Henley can be understood by the old English words 'hean' meaning 'high' and 'leah' meaning 'wood' or 'clearing'. When used in Shropshire, the meaning of Henley changes to mean 'wild birds', taking from the Old English word 'he'. Some famous Henley's include Althea Henley, an American actress and dancer. She is best known for her work in the short films 'Up The River', 'Three Little Beers', and 'Ants In The Pantry', which also starred The Three Stooges. Another well-known figure with the name Henley is Jesse Smith Henley, who was a United States Circuit Judge in the Court of Appeals.
