Meanings

A male given name: an Old English family name taken from a placename meaning “stone field.”.

Stanley is a family name and masculine given name dating from the 11/12th century contraction of Stone (pronounced "Stan") and Leigh (meadow).
It is also believed to be a Mediaeval contraction of the modern-day English-speaking forename "Stephen" following Spanish roots from the name "Esteban" or the Polish name "Stanislas", given after St. Stanislaus of Szczepanów Bishop and Martyr. Stanislas was a popular name in Britain and Scandinavia before the Reformation, still given in France, Austria and Italy.

Meadow that is stony. Combine of stan (stone) and leah (wood, clearing, meadow); dweller near a stony clearing.
