Okley is an unusual, yet charming first name of American origin. It is believed to have emerged as a variant spelling of 'Oakley', which itself is derived from the Old English words 'ac' meaning 'oak tree', and 'leah' signifying 'woodland clearing'. This naming convention was popular among settlers in the United States, particularly those with ties to nature or who wished to honor its beauty. The name Okley evokes a sense of strength, resilience, and connection to the great outdoors, much like its namesake trees.
"The name Okley experienced its highest birth years with 16 births in 1922 and 13 births in 1928. The lowest occurred in 1929 with only 5 births."
