The last name Musley has its origins in England, specifically deriving from the Old English personal name "Musa," which means "moss" or "mossy place," combined with the suffix "-ley," meaning "clearing" or "meadow." This suggests that the name may have originally referred to someone who lived near a mossy clearing or meadow, indicating a geographical connection to the landscape. Historically, surnames like Musley often denoted the characteristics of the land or the occupation of the individuals, possibly linking to those who worked in or around such natural environments. Variations of the surname can be found in different regions, with spellings such as "Muzley" or "Mussley" appearing in various records, reflecting regional dialects and phonetic changes over time.
