Pashley Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Passelewe,' now Pashley or Pasley, a manor in the parish of Ticehurst, Sussex (Lower). I doubt whether this is correct. There is no trace of a Sussex parentage. I suspect it is of Norman extraction, although we need not accept Skinner's etymology: 'a the Frenchpasse I'eau, sc. atranando vel transeundo aquam.' This is a meaningless guess. Possibly Lower is correct, and it may be that the name passed from Sussex to Norfolk at an early period. Nevertheless, without proof it is not satisfactory.
