I found this for you!.

BAILEY
English: transferred use of the surname, which has various origins!. Most commonly it was an occupational name for a bailiff or administrative official; in other cases it apparently originated as a local name for someone who lived near a bailey, i!.e!. a city fortification, and in others it may be a local name from Bailey in Lancashire, which gets its name from Old English beg berry + leah wood, clearing!.


Howell Name Meaning and History
Welsh: from the personal name Hywel ‘eminent’, popular since the Middle Ages in particular in honor of the great 10th-century law-giving Welsh king!.
English: habitational name from Howell in Lincolnshire, so named from an Old English hugol ‘mound’, ‘hillock’ or hune ‘hoarhound’!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

heads up, friend!.!. your first question went into baby names (as you meant for it), the 2nd one went into genealogy, as if looking for background/ definition!.
Oh,!.!. if your friend married someone named Howell, and her first name is Bailey!.!. she will spend a lot of time, explaining to persons which is the last name, which is the first name!. That will be true probably, no matter who she marries!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
