The Irish surnames Bray and McBray have their origins rooted in the ancient Irish Gaelic culture. The surname Bray is derived from the Old Gaelic word O'Bréaghdha, which roughly means descendant of the treacherous one. The prefix 'Mc' in McBray means 'son of' and is an anglicized form of the Irish 'Mac'. So, McBray may also mean 'son of the treacherous one'.

Historically, the Bréaghdha clan was a sept, or branch, of the larger and more influential O'Brien clan, and they were primarily located in the County of Limerick in the province of Munster, Ireland.

As the English began to dominate Ireland, many Irish families were forced to anglicize their names. In this process, O'Bréaghdha might have been simplified to Bray or even McBray.

Despite these changes, the surnames Bray and McBray have managed to retain their distinct Irish identity. The descendants of the Bréaghdha clan are now spread all around the world due to the Irish diaspora, primarily triggered by the Great Famine in the mid-19th century.

Thus, the history of the surnames Bray and McBray serves as a vivid reminder of the rich and tumultuous history of Ireland itself.
