Horsley derives from the Old English language words "hors" meaning horse, and "leah" meaning "meadow", or "clearing". So the Horsley surname can be translated to mean "horse meadow" or "horse pasture". This proud and noble English surname is first found in the records of Northumberland, at a township named Horsley, in Ovingham parish. There are also parishes named Horsley in Derbyshire and Gloucestershire.
