Yellow Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
From peculiarity of costume in the original bearer-analogous to Blue, Scarlett, &c.
This name is probably the same as Jolley, Jolly, Joly, Jelley, Jelly, Jelliff, Joliffe, Jolliffe, Jolliff, Iliff, Hiffe, Eylif, Jelf, Yelf, Ayliffe, Ayliff, Auliffe, Ayloffe, Aylove, Aloph, Aloof; all doubtless corrupted from Adolphus. I am confirmed in this last by Wright (in his History of Essex, vol. ii 443, note), who says, "The ancient Saxon family of Ayloffe was seated in Bocton or Boughton parish, hundred of Eythorne, near the Wye, in Kent, of which town they were possessors in the time of Henry the Third. The name Aloph was given to this town from having been anciently under the jurisdiction of Adolphus." Yester is found as the name of a parish co. Haddington.
