Etymology
The p.n. Arley occurs in a number of counties, and in two cases (Wa and Wo) where there are OE forms it can be proved to derive from OE earn -lēah 'eagle-wood'. Earnley Sx means 'eagles' wood'.The Berks name is very probably another example of the compound earn -lēah , though it is impossible to be certain without OE forms.Ekwall (DEPN) suggests OE ēar 'gravel', as a possible alternative first el.
