The earliest known instances of the surname date back to the 13th century, with records showing variations in spelling such as Danieli, Danyeli, and Danielie.

One of the earliest recorded bearers of the Daniely name was Geoffrey Daniely, a landowner mentioned in the Hundredorum Rolls of Oxfordshire in 1273. This document served as a survey of landowners and their estates, providing valuable insight into the distribution of surnames across different regions of England during that time.

By the 14th century, the Daniely surname had spread to various parts of the country, including Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. In the Poll Tax Returns of 1379, there are records of individuals with the surname Daniely residing in villages such as Barton-upon-Humber and Grimsby.

Notably, the Daniely surname has been linked to several notable figures throughout history. One such individual was Sir John Daniely (1530-1585), a prominent lawyer and Member of Parliament during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. He served as the Recorder of London and played a significant role in the legal affairs of the Tudor era.

Another distinguished bearer of the Daniely name was Reverend Thomas Daniely (1628-1698), an English clergyman and scholar who served as the Rector of Stamford Rivers in Essex. He was known for his work on ecclesiastical history and contributed valuable writings on the subject.

The Daniely surname has also been associated with various place names, particularly in areas where the family had significant landholdings. For instance, the village of Danely in Derbyshire is believed to have derived its name from the Daniely family, who owned property in the region during the medieval period.
