UTLEY> I would like to know the meaning of this name and the origin.
This is very important and I need some information immediately. If you can, can you tell me the background? Plenty of people ask me and I can not help them. A great number of people have this last name and no infomation of the background. If you do find any infomation please contact me. Thank you.

My reference source states that Utley is Northern English -- a habitation name from Yorkshire, near Keighley . It is derived from the Old English personal name "Utta" (of uncertain meaning) and the Old English word "leah" (meaning a meadow or clearing in the woods). So "Utley" essentially means: "One who lived at or came from Utta's meadow".
