The surname Shanley or McShanly has its origins in Ireland, specifically among the Irish people. In Gaelic, the name is written as Ó Seanlaoich which means descendant of Seanlaoch. The prefix Mc or Ó denotes son of or descendant of in Irish.

The name Seanlaoch, from which Shanley is derived, is itself a personal name that means old hero or old warrior in Gaelic. It is believed to have been a popular name among the Irish clans, especially in the medieval era when warriors and heroes held significant status in Irish society.

As with many surnames in Ireland, the use of hereditary surnames like Shanley or McShanly began to take shape during the 11th and 12th centuries. This was when the Irish clans adopted the practice of using patronymics or ancestral names to distinguish themselves. The naming tradition was further solidified with the introduction of English colonization in Ireland, when English officials began keeping meticulous records of the population, including their surnames.

Over time, the surname Shanley or McShanly spread and became associated with various Irish families, particularly those in the provinces of Connacht and Ulster. Today, individuals with the surname can be found both in Ireland and among the Irish diaspora, carrying on the ancestral legacy of the old heroes.
