Airy Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

'Christopher Airay (1601-70), a pioneer of English logic, was born at Clifton in Westmoreland': Dictionary of National Biography.
'Henry Airay (c. 1560-1616), a puritan divine and author, was born at Kentmere, Westmoreland, being son of William Airay, the favourite servant of Bernard Gilpin': ibid.
In the muster roll of the dependants of Walter Strickland, deputy steward of Kendal (temp. 18 Henry VI), occurs 'Edward Avray, a byll': Nicolson and Burn. History Westm. and Cumb.
1580. Henry Ayrey, Westmorland: Register of the University of Oxford.
1681. Anthony Ayrey, of Chiping: Lancashire Wills at Richmond.
1783. Married — Joseph Airey, of Kendal, and Sarah Salthouse, of Ulverston: Ulverston Church Reg.
AIRIE: Local, probably from the two and a half mark land of Arie, 1611 (Refours, Kirkcudbright, 104). John Airie in Wakemilne, 1685 (RPC., 3. ser. X, p. 197).
(? Scandinavian) belonging to Airey (Cumb.) [the second element seems to be the Old Norse wrá, a corner].
Robert de Hayra (Inquest at Appleby, A.D. 1301).—Lanc. Inq., i. 309. (Celtic) Dweller at the Shieling, or Mountain-Pasture. [Gaelic airidh (dh mute)].
This Cumberland family consider the name to have been borrowed from some elevated dwelling among the mountains called an Eyrie, such designations for residences not being uncommon. The "Eagle's Nest" would be a much more eligible name for an abode than Rook's-nest, Goose-nest, or Stoat's-nest, which are still to be found. See Aquila. An aery also signifies a place for the breeding or training of hawks. Ellis, Introd. Domesd. I, 341.
Mr. Ferguson compares the names Airy, Air, Arrah with the Old German Aro and Ara of the seventh century, and the common Scandinavian name Ari, which he derives from Old High German, aro, ar, Old Norse an, an eagle. Lower says the Cumberland family of Airey consider the name to have been borrowed from an elevated dwelling among the mountains called an eyrie, such designations for residences not being uncommon; and he says aery also signifies a place for the breeding or training of hawks. The name is more probably the same as Harry, Harrie, for Henry; or it may even be from Harold.
See Airey. Of this name is the celebrated astronomer.
Airey is an old Cumberland name (L.).
