Darley Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Darley,' (1) a parish in Derbyshire, three miles from Matlock; (2) a township in the parish of Hampsthwaite, West Riding of Yorkshire.
John de Derleye, Yorkshire, 1273. Hundred Rolls.

With a few exceptions, e.g. Dr. John Darley (1799-1884) Protestant Bishop of Kil nore, who was born in Co. Monaghan, the Darleys, since they came to Ireland in the seventeenth century, have been continuously associated with Dublin and adjacent counties.
The best known family of the name was that which produced six prominent Dublin builders and architects in the second half of the eighteenth century; George Darley (1795-1846), the poet, was born in Dublin and Sir Frederick Matthew Darley (1830-1910) Australian statesman, in Co. Wicklow. The earliest reference to the name I have met is to Bryan Darley who is mentioned in Crom vellian Settlement papers as a surveyor in 1652and a few years later Petty's “census” includes Daniel Darley as a “titulado”
in Cork; but there appears to have been little further connexion with that city.
The name is taken from Darley, a place on the borders of Derbyshire and Yorkshire but is not noteworthy in England: the only Darleys included in the Dictionary of National Biography are Irish.
