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.

Robert Passelewe, Norfolk, 1273. Hundred Rolls.

1450. John Passelaw; canon of West Dereham, Norfolk: ibid.
