The name Huckley is a boy's name meaning "small, dark-blue berry; inhospitable place; bend in the meadow; Hugh's meadow".

This surname-style name may appeal to those who like the nickname Huck but find the literary long form Huckleberry too much for real-life usage. 
 
While the exact etymology of Huckley is uncertain, it could derive from the aforementioned Huckleberry, the name of both a fruit and the bush from which it grows. Alternatively, it could come from the surname Hookley, likely meaning "bend in the meadow" or from the surname Huxley meaning "inhospitable place".
 
Another possibility is that it comes from the given name Hugh, combined with the Old English element leah, giving it the meaning "Hugh's meadow". More poetically, it could be interpreted as "meadow in this mind" or "the mind's meadow" if Hugh's meaning is taken into account, adding a touch of whimsy to a rugged sounding choice.
 
Huckley was given to 5 boys in a recent year, making it a rare choice with familiar sounds.
