The surname Bailey is of English or Scottish origin, with its roots likely tracing back to the Anglo-Norman term "bailli," meaning bailiff. This connection suggests an occupational origin, referring to someone who served as a bailiff. Another possibility is that the name is locational, derived from the place Bailleul-En-Vimeu in Normandy. Though there is a historical anecdote about the name being changed from Balliol due to the unpopularity of King John Balliol, this lacks substantial evidence.
