It is not a Greek name. It was the Anglo-Norman word for the "keep" of a castle.
As the English language developed, the "bailiff" or "bailey" became the word for the steward who took care of the castle and surrounding village in the absence of his lord.
This is most likely the origin of the name. Mr Bailey's ancestor was a bailiff or steward.
