English : habitational name from Kirkley in Northumberland, found in early records as Crekellawe. The element Crekel is from Celtic crÅ«g ‘hill’ + Old English hyll ‘hill’, to which the tautologous addition (Old English hlÄ â€˜hill’, ‘mound’) was later made. There is also a Kirkley in Suffolk, named from Old Norse kirkja ‘church’ + Old English lÄ“ah ‘woodland clearing’, which may also have contributed to the surname.
