From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

This surname is derived from a geographical locality. probably 'of Baslow,' a parish in Derbyshire, three miles from Stoney Middleton. (2) Local, 'of Bassaleg,' a parish in Monmouthshire, near Newport. (3) Bapt. 'the son of Basil,' from the pet Basily. Let me put first the following entry:

Alan Basel, Cambridgeshire, ibid.

Richard Baseli, Oxfordshire, ibid.

John Basely, Cambridgeshire, ibid.

Michael Basely, Buckinghamshire, ibid.

John Baseley, Hertfordshire, 30 Edward I: Placita de Quo Warranto, temp. Edward I-III.

1655. Married — Edward Baseley to Alice Barton: St. Thomas the Apostle (London).

I firmly believe (3) to be chief parent of the surname; compare Charlie, Teddy, &c.; v. Bassil.
