Well, "ley" is simply Anglo-Saxon for a glade or a clearing (which is why there are so many towns in England that end in "ley" - plenty of glades, back in the day!). So the settlement must be at least per-Norman, which is quite interesting, and a quick Googling reveals the - pretty speculative - answer that it refers to a glade belonging to a man called Cweod.

Quedgeley has been spelt in at least four different ways and the earliest form appears to be derived from the name of the stream called the Qued Brook, which ran for a mile on the eastern side of the Parish. In 1675 near the north boundary of the Parish, the road crossed the Qued Brook by a wooden bridge. I have also heard from some where years ago,the name came from waste land on the out side of the City. No1 Historian.
