Konley is an uncommon yet distinctive given name, believed to have originated from Irish and Scottish roots. It is thought to be a variant spelling of the name Cully, which itself derives from the Irish surname Ó Cuilleáin. This surname is believed to mean "descendant of Cullean," with Cullean being a personal name likely derived from the Gaelic word 'cuileann,' meaning 'Holly.' Therefore, Konley could potentially be interpreted as "strength" or "victory," depending on how one translates the Gaelic roots. This name is not commonly found in popular baby naming trends and thus may lend itself well to those seeking a unique yet meaningful moniker for their child.
The name Konley has seen a consistent increase in usage over the past few years, with five babies named Konley born each year from 2016 to 2021, followed by a jump to six in 2022. This results in a total of twenty-one births recorded under this unique name since 2016.
