Mosley Origin and Meaning

The name Mosley is a boy's name meaning "peat bog, mouse clearing".

Mosley has seen a handful of uses — mostly among baby girls — since 2012, the year after Peyton Manning gave it to his daughter. It's much more familiar as a surname, such as that of novelist Walter Mosley.

Frankie Muniz used it as the middle for his son Mauz. The names derive from the same Old High German word, mus, and each have a mousy meaning.
