Morley is a boy’s name that once described a multitude of sites and places! Originating in Old England, Morley was a last name given to those who lived near a "moor clearing" or a "marsh clearing." If you envision exploring the picturesque countryside with your little one, Morley could be a lovely choice. Perhaps Morley's Irish connections will appeal to you more, and its potential definitions of "sea tide" and "sea valor."
