Earsley is a surname of English origin, derived from the Old English 'ear' meaning 'ear of grain', and 'leah' signifying 'woodland clearing'. It is believed to have been an early habitational name for someone who lived in such a place named after its location near abundant grain fields. The name Earsley has historically been more prevalent as a surname than a given name, though it can be found as both today.
