The surname of Kirtley appears to be locational in origin and is believed to be associated with the English meaning, "one who came from Kirkley (hill)." Different spellings of the same original surname are a common occurrence.
Dictionaries of surnames indicate probable spelling variations. The most prominent variations of Kirtley are Kirkley and Kirtly.
I have also been told that Kirtley is a Scotch-Irish
name. Nevertheless, I have this page in order to find out where
my Kirtley's came from; and perhaps we can find them together.
