Lurley is a unique and uncommon given name of Dutch origin. It is derived from the Dutch surname 'Van der Lely,' which translates to 'from the meadow.' The name Lurley has a distinct, elegant sound that makes it memorable yet understated.
The name Lurley appeared to be somewhat popular around the early 20th century with five births recorded in both 1890 and 1923, and a slight increase to six births in 1916. However, these numbers have significantly declined over time, as indicated by the total of only sixteen births spread across these three years.
