History & Origin

Luxley is a modern coinage rather than an inherited surname. Its first element is Lux, Latin for 'light,' a word that has become a small given name in its own right; its second is the -ley ending from Old English leah, 'wood, clearing, meadow,' which runs through Oakley, Presley and hundreds of English place names. The joined name is new, and we present it honestly as a modern formation (said 'LUKS-lee').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, bright, and modern.

Did you know? Lux is the Latin word for light - it survives in words like lucid and in the unit that measures how bright a room is - and Luxley wraps it in a surname ending.
