More About The Name Wakely

Wakely is an English origin surname that has its roots in the pre-7th century Old English. The name itself is locational and derived from a now 'lost' medieval village which presumably was near the area known as Wakeley in Hertfordshire, England. The meaning is 'wake', derived from Old English 'wacu', which refers to watch or wakefulness, combined with 'leah', a word referring to a clearing in a forest; thus, it can mean "clearing in the forest for a wake or watch."
