Insley Family History
Insley Name Meaning
English (Midlands): habitational name from an unidentified place,
most probably in Staffordshire. It may be from a lost place named in
Old English as Inesleah, the first element being the Old
English personal name Ine + Old English leah
‘woodland clearing’. John Insley’s speculation Alternatively, it
could be a variant of the Devon name Endsley, although the
distribution makes this unlikely.
