Langey is Dutch, English, German in Origin.

Langey is an English surname-turned-given name, most plausibly a modern respelling of Langley. It traces to the Old English elements lang, “long,” and leah, “woodland clearing, meadow,” found in numerous British place names called Langley. As with many habitational surnames, it began appearing as a first name in the 19th and early 20th centuries, especially in Britain and the United States, carried by families preserving a maternal surname or place connection.

Meaning “from the long clearing” or “long meadow,” Langey is typically used for boys but functions well as a unisex choice. Variants and related forms include Langley, Langly, Langlee, Langleigh, Longley, and the shorter Lang; distant cognates are German Lange and Scandinavian Lang (both meaning “long”). Nicknames might be Lang, Ley or Lee, or Lanny. The spelling Langey lends a softer, contemporary look while keeping the rustic, aristocratic-country feel associated with English place-names.
