The Schockley surname doesn't seem to have any direct meaning. It appears to be an Americanized spelling of the German name "Schächle". That name can be found in 19th century records from the towns of Hindelwangen and Emmendingen in the far south of Germany (Baden-Württemberg) and there are some families with that name in Liechtenstein today. The spelling "Schockley" has been found in US census records dating back to the early 1800s.
2nd Answerer says: While there are are many spelling variations of this surname- it is first found in Lancashire, where they held a family seat from ancient times. Adam de Shakerley was the first of the name, living about the year 1200. There was a John Shakley that settled in Virginia (Now USA) in 1650. To the citizens of the US, the name of Private First Class William R. Shockley (1918 - 1945), means Congressional Medal of Honor, Bronze Star, and Purple Heart (two) recipient, with our undying gratitude. To his squad on Luzon in the Philippines- well, he sacrificed his life to save theirs.
