This surname Kisley could come from the following origins...

1.) It could be a variant of English: Casley (also spelt as Kesley, Causley and others), perhaps a habitational place from Cornwall or Devon.

2.) It could be of German origin, perhaps a variant of German: Kissler, which is also spelt as Kisler.

Kissler - German: from an agent derivative of Middle High German kis 'gravel', 'low grade iron ore' (Old High German kisil 'pebble'); probably a topographic name for someone living in an area of poor land covered with coarse sand and pebbles or an occupational name for an iron worker.

3.) Perhaps there is of Irish origin, unexplained... for now.
