I was driving through Kansas and saw familiar names on the billboards; Oakley! I never knew that there was an Oakley, Colorado! Soon I started noticing an Oakly, California as well... and so on! It made me want to look up the etymology of that word.
The literal meaning of Oakley is "a meadow of oak trees". As for the Sunglass company founded by James Jannard in 1975, well that name originated from his dog which was an English Setter. Most of us can relate to a love of a pet, and their unwavering support, so I was endeared by that knowledge. The Oakley brand name, no matter what, is now not just a surname or the name of a faithful pup, but it's the name of innovation! It's about sports accessories that always push out the best products and responds to the needs of their extreme athletes. If you're looking for the sunglasses that will give you maximum performance, then the only name you need to know is Oakley, and the only retailer you need to visit is Fast Sunglass, where they have the largest selection of discount sunglasses that they'll ship, for free, to your doorstep!
