Sealey is English in Origin.
Sealey is an English surname-turned-given name rooted in Middle English seely/seli, from Old English gesaelig meaning "happy, blessed, fortunate". In medieval usage seely also carried senses of "innocent" and "pious," a nuance later lost as the modern word silly shifted in meaning. The name therefore conveys a bright, benevolent sense of luck or blessing, often interpreted today as "fortunate" or "blessed".
As a given name, Sealey appears sporadically in England from the 17th century and gained modest currency in 19th-century America, where surname names were fashionable. Contemporary usage is rare and largely unisex. Spelling variants include Seeley, Seely, Sealy, Seelie, and Sely; short forms like Sea or Lee occasionally occur. The TV character Seeley Booth helped modern recognition of the sound. Sealey fits with gentle, vintage-modern choices that balance simplicity with a quietly affirmative meaning.
