Earnlie is a name whose history is connected to the ancient Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain.

Migration of the Earnlie familyFor political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, Canada, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Earnlie surname or a spelling variation of the name include: Alexander Ernley arrived in Philadelphia in 1820.
