Presley(重定向自Pressley)
The surname Presley and variants Pressley and Pressly are thought to be ultimately of English origin. Later, if not found in some form originating also in Scotland, the name made its way across the border to that country, then on to Ireland and to the United States. The surname came to prominence in the person of Elvis Presley, the American music icon, whose family were originally from Scotland and whose earliest documented ancestors were an Andrew Presley and an Elspeth Leg, and were based in the Aberdeenshire village of Lonmay. Their son, also called Andrew, who emigrated to the United States in 1745, was the first recorded Presley on American soil and the musician's direct ancestor of 7 generations. It is possible that in Scotland, the surname originates with the Aberdeenshire hamlet of Persley, now encompassed by the City of Aberdeen. This location is likely derived from the Scottish Gaelic phreaslach, meaning 'shrub'. The names Presley and Pressly to this day remain fairly common in Aberdeenshire but are sparse in the rest of Scotland. |
