About Hurley
Hurley is a possibility as a unisex surname-name ending with the "lee" sound. It is perhaps most associated with British actress Elizabeth Hurley, and is much rarer than Harley, because the "ur" sound is currently out of fashion (and the word "hurl" may put some off).
Hurley is also given to girls.
Pronounced HER-lee.
As of October 2026, Hurley ranked #16587 in US births in 2018 SSA, peaked at #2572 in 1910.
