This interesting surname of English origin is a dialectal variant of the locational name Earnley in Sussex, deriving from the Old English pre 7th Century "earn" meaning "eagle" plus "leah" "wood", hence "Eagles'wood".

Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.
