Aulay is a Scottish masculine given name. It is an Anglicisation of the Scottish Gaelic Amhladh,^[1] Amhlaidh,^[1] Amhlaigh, and Amhlaibh.^[2] The standard Irish Gaelic form of these names is Amhlaoibh (pronounced "ow-liv",^[1] and "owl-lee");^[3] which can be Anglicised as Auliffe^[1] and Humphrey.^[4]

The Old Irish personal name Amlaíb is a Gaelicised form of the Old Norse Óláfr, which was introduced into the British Isles by the Norse during the Viking Age.^[5] In the 9th century Óláfr may have been pronounced more like the Old Norse Áleifr.^[6] A Classical Gaelic form of this Old Irish name is Amhlaíbh.

The older Irish Gaelic names Amalgaid,^[4] and Amhalghaidh^[4] (pronounced "owl-ghee"),^[3] were borne by an early king of Munster, and an early king of Connacht. Even though these names were are of a different origin than the above Gaelicised Norse names, they were "totally confused" in the later Middle Ages with them.^[4] In later times, Amalgaid, and Amhalghaidh, were Anglicised as Auley; as well as Awley, which was a spelling commonly used by the Magawleys of Calry.^[4]

The old Irish Gaelic Amhlaide may be a form of the Icelandic Amloði; though it may also be a form of Amhlaibh.^{[citation needed]}
