Best Answer

Ley or Leigh is Old English for field. Var, or sometimes Far, means sedgy or marshy. When surnames began to be used in about the C13th the first to bear this name owned or lived on

a marshy field.

I believe the earliest - or one of the earliest Varley families lived in Lincolnshire around Tattersall.
