Mabley Surname Definition:

This surname is derived from the name of an ancestor. 'the son of Mabel,' familiarly Mabley. I can only furnish a few instances out of many. Not as a rule to be confounded with Moberley (which see), but confusion would easily arise. It is quite possible that Maberley is the same as the local Moberley, but I doubt it.
