The surname Bally, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that spans back centuries. It is an anglicized form of the Gaelic name Ó Baile, which means "descendant of Baile." In Gaelic, "baile" refers to a town or settlement.
The Bally surname originated in the province of Munster, specifically in the counties of Cork and Waterford. It is believed that the name was originally associated with a prominent Gaelic clan or sept. Over time, members of this clan spread throughout Ireland, and as a result, the Bally surname can now be found in various parts of the country.
During the period of English colonization and Anglicization of Ireland, many Irish surnames, including Bally, were anglicized to make them more pronounceable for English speakers. This resulted in different variations of the name such as Bailey, Baley, and Bayley.
Today, the Bally surname is still relatively common in Ireland, particularly in the originally associated counties of Cork and Waterford. Many individuals with this surname can also be found in other parts of the world, particularly in countries with a significant Irish diaspora, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
