Etymology of OberlyWhat does the name Oberly mean? The German surname Oberly is derived from the German words "ober," meaning "upper," or "above," and the word man. Early Origins of the Oberly familyThe surname Oberly was first found in East Prussia, where the name Oberer came from humble beginnings but gained a significant reputation for its contribution to the emerging mediaeval society.
