The surname Rowley or O'Rowley has its roots in Ireland and can be traced back to ancient times. The name derives from the Gaelic name "Ó Ruadhghaille," which means "descendant of the red-haired foreigner." The "Ó" prefix signifies "descendant of," indicating a family or clan connection. The Rowley/O'Rowley clan was originally found in County Galway and County Mayo in the western part of Ireland. They were part of the Uí Maine, a major Gaelic tribe that inhabited the region. The clan's seat was in the area around Athlone, near the Shannon River, and they held significant influence in the region. The Rowleys/O'Rowleys played an active role in Irish history. They were known for their warrior heritage and were often involved in battles against rival clans and English forces. They were also known for their leadership abilities and held positions of authority within the Uí Maine. Over time, some members of the clan migrated to other parts of Ireland and even to other countries. As a result, the surname Rowley or O'Rowley can now be found in various places around the world, particularly in countries with significant Irish diaspora communities. Today, the surname Rowley or O'Rowley serves as a proud reminder of the rich Irish heritage of those who bear it, connecting them to the ancient Gaelic traditions and history of Ireland.
