- Source: Brawley (surname)
Brawley () is a surname of Scottish, Irish and English origin. In Scotland and Ireland it may derive from the Irish name Ó Brolaigh, which is also anglicised as Brolly and is common in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. In England it may also derive from the French name de Broglie. Another possible etymology of the name in Scotland connects it with the Scots word braw, meaning fine or handsome and the word lea, meaning a meadow; compare also the Scots word brawlie meaning excellent or in good health.
The name is most common in Scotland, prominently in Strathclyde, excluding Argyll and Bute and Inverclyde.
