The surname Mulvihill, sometimes spelled as O'Mulvihill, has its origins in Ireland and is of Gaelic descent. The name is derived from the Gaelic personal name Maol Mhichil, meaning devotee of St. Michael.
The Mulvihill family was historically associated with County Kerry in southwestern Ireland. They were part of the ancient kingdom of Munster and were believed to be descendants of the powerful Eoghanacht dynasty. The Eoghanacht were a prominent Gaelic family that ruled over Munster for centuries.
During the medieval period, Ireland experienced English invasions and subsequent colonization. This led to changes in the social and political landscape, including the anglicization of Gaelic names. Many Irish families, including the Mulvihills, adopted the prefix O or Mac to their surnames to signify descendant of.
Over time, some Mulvihills migrated to other parts of Ireland and further afield, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and beyond, due to economic and political circumstances such as the Great Famine of the mid-19th century.
Today, the Mulvihill surname can be found in various parts of the world, with a particularly strong presence in Ireland, the United States, and Canada. The descendants continue to honor their Irish heritage and maintain connections with their ancestral homeland.
