Pronunciation: [lˈamblɪ] (IPA) 
Lambley is a village in Nottinghamshire, England pronounced /ˈlæmbli/. The spelling of the word is straightforward, with the "l" sound followed by an "a" sound as in "cat". The "m" and "b" sounds are pronounced separately as in "umbrella" and "baby". The "e" makes a short "e" sound, similar to the "e" in "set". Finally, the "y" is pronounced as a long "e" sound, as in "bee". So altogether, Lambley is pronounced as "LAM-blee".
The word "Lambley" is primarily a place name, referring to several villages or towns in different parts of the United Kingdom. As an English surname, it is derived from a habitational name for someone who either lived in or came from one of these places.
The etymology of the place names themselves can vary. For example, one Lambley village is located in Nottinghamshire, England. Its name is derived from the Old Norse personal name "Lambi" and the Old English word "leah", meaning "a clearing". This suggests that the name originally meant "Lambi's clearing".
On the other hand, another Lambley village in Northumberland, England, is thought to have a different origin. It is believed to derive from the Old English personal name "Lamb" and "leah", again meaning "a clearing". This indicates that it may have been interpreted as "Lamb's clearing".
