It was a surname originating from a Langobard Germanic tribe, that later migrated to Switzerland.

It may help to know that early Eglis changed their spelling repeatedly, in a failed attempt at making it easier to pronounce.

Spelling variations to look for include: Egley, Eagly, Eagley, Ekle, and Ekel.

If you want to know more, I recommend Robert Eagley's Eagley/Eagly Family History.
