Help[Facts] Olney
I thought the name "Olney" meant "old"-"ney" where "ney" sounded to me like some affix I had seen before but who's meaning I could not remember, however I'm searching and finding it may mean "lone/solitary/single clearing/glade" or "Olla's island" in Old English... But I need to know the meaning of the name "Olla" which I guessed could be a variant of Olaf or mean "wool" according to some source... But which I dont trully know what it means... Anyone has an answer?
Edit: Searching the database many names end in "ney" and the closest "ney" has got to a meaning of its own is "new" or "island"... "Old new" is really meaningless... "Old island" is more meaningful...

Check the surname board or Ancestry.co.m

That is a paysite... This seems spam, it cannot solve the question without getting payment and it does not care about etymology but about genealogy... I tried!
