It comes from the place-name Crossley, formed from Middle English cross (ultimately from Latin crux) and Old English lēah, “woodland clearing” or “meadow.” The sense is “meadow by the cross,” evoking a field marked by a wayside cross or boundary marker. The -lea ending highlights the “meadow” element, giving the name a softer, more lyrical look.
