If synonym of Farrelly, the anglicization of O Faircheallaigh (Extremely Warlike) or O Fearghaile (Man of Valour), yes. In Ulster and Cavan Farley was used synonymously with Farrelly as was Farrell and O Farrell as recently as 1900.
However, many Farleys are also of the English Farley. In England Farley was an habitational name given to those of certain towns, villiages, and hamlets in the counties of Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and others. This branch of the name is derived of the AngloSaxon word Farnleg, Fern Dweller. The low class English.
Both are often confused for eachother and even more due to British Farleys going over to Ireland.
It can be either Irish or English.
