The surname Veile or Veale is of Irish origin and has a rich history. It is derived from the Gaelic name "Mac an Bhatair" which means "son of the boatman". The name originated in County Waterford in the southeast of Ireland. During the medieval period, the Veile family were primarily involved in the fishing and boating industry. They were known for their skills as boatmen and their expertise in navigating the treacherous waters of the Irish coast. This occupation gave rise to the surname Veile or Veale, signifying their ancestral connection to the profession. Over time, the Veile or Veale family spread across Ireland, particularly in the areas of Cork, Kerry, and Tipperary. They continued to be associated with maritime activities, including fishing and shipbuilding. The name also evolved in various spellings, including Veel, Veal, Veile, and Veall. During the Irish diaspora in the 18th and 19th centuries, many Veile or Veale families emigrated to countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. They brought their Irish heritage and surname with them, contributing to the diverse cultural fabric of their new homelands. Today, the surname Veile or Veale is still found among Irish communities around the world. It serves as a reminder of the ancestral connection to the boatmen of Ireland and the enduring legacy of the Veile or Veale family.
