The surname Tuly is of Irish origin and is derived from the Gaelic name O'Tuathail or Mac Tuathail. The prefix "O" or "Mac" indicated "descendant of" in Gaelic. The name Tuathail itself means "ruler of the people" or "lord of the people." It is believed that the name originated in County Wicklow, located in the eastern part of Ireland.
The Tuly family, or those with similar variations of the name, likely played significant roles within their communities as leaders or chiefs. The surname Tuly is relatively rare, and variations such as Tully or Tulley are more commonly found. Over time, variations in spelling and pronunciation are common due to illiteracy and regional accents.
Similarly, the surname McAtilla is also of Irish origin. The prefix "Mc" signifies "son of" in Gaelic, and Atilla is a variation of the name Athill or Othill. It is thought that the McAtilla family originated from County Tyrone or County Armagh in Northern Ireland.
Irish surnames often have complex historical and cultural backgrounds, with many families tracing their roots back centuries. Understanding the history of one's surname can provide insight into ancestral heritage and connections to specific regions or clans within Ireland.
