Gulley Family History
Gulley Name Meaning
English: descriptive nickname for a giant or a large man, from
Middle English golias ‘giant’, from the Hebrew personal name
Golyat Goliath. In the Bible Goliath was the champion of the
Philistines, who stood ‘six cubits and a span’; he was defeated in
single combat by the shepherd boy David (I Samuel 17), who killed him
with a stone from his sling. There is unlikely to be any connection
with the English vocabulary word gully (from Old French
goulet ‘neck of a bottle’), which is not attested in this sense
before the 17th century.Perhaps an altered
spelling of French Goulley, a variant of Goulet.
