Meaning & History

Originally denoted a person who came from any of the various places in northern or eastern France called Sailly, which is possibly derived from Old French saillir, salir meaning "to spring", ultimately from Latin saliō. This name is borne by the former French soccer player Marcel Desailly (1968-), whose real name was Odenke Abbey.
