Hurleigh

Hurleigh is a masculine name of Irish and British origin, stemming from two last names. Derived from the Irish Ó hUrthuile, Hurleigh finds its home in the Munster province of Ireland and is anglicized as Hurley. Familial at heart, Hurleigh means “descendant of Urthuile,” from a Gaelic personal name that could mean “great flood.” Some like to link the name to the hurley stick, called a camán in Irish, used in the popular Irish sport, hurling. Hurleigh also has Old English origins inspired by places throughout England called Hurley. Meaning “woodland clearing at the corner,” Hurleigh is loved for its homely appeal, sporty energy, and nature-imbued vibes.
