History & Origin

Anzley respells Ansley, an English place and surname name built from Old English ansetl ('hermitage') or the personal name Ann, plus leah, 'clearing, meadow'. The z-spelling is a recent American taste (said 'ANZ-lee').

It appears only rarely in U.S. records, well behind Ansley itself. Rare, snappy, and surname-styled.

Did you know? Ansley began as an English place name — a clearing (leah) by a hermitage. Anzley swaps in a z, keeping the sound and giving it a modern edge, which we note (said 'ANZ-lee').
