The surname Ogilby has a rich history, particularly among individuals of Irish descent. The origin of the name can be traced back to the Gaelic name "Mac Giolla Buidhe," which means "son of the yellow-haired lad." The name evolved over time, and the spelling gradually shifted to Ogilby.
The Ogilby family has a long-standing presence in Ireland, with their roots dating back to ancient times. They were part of the Gaelic nobility and held positions of power and influence. The Ogilbys were known for their bravery and military prowess, often playing significant roles in battles and conflicts throughout Irish history.
During the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century, many Scottish settlers arrived in Ireland, including those with the surname Ogilby. They settled primarily in the northern counties of Antrim, Down, and Londonderry. These Scottish-Irish Ogilbys integrated into Irish society while maintaining their Scottish heritage.
Over time, the Ogilby name spread throughout Ireland, and many individuals with this surname gained prominence in various fields such as politics, literature, and the arts. Today, individuals with the Ogilby surname can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, and Australia, where Irish descendants have migrated over the centuries.
