The surname Barclay has a long history, particularly among those of Irish descent. It is believed to have originated from the Gaelic name MacParthaláin, which means "son of Bartholomew." The Gaelic name was anglicized to Barclay over time.

The Barclay family can be traced back to the ancient kingdom of Dalriada, which encompassed parts of what is now Scotland and Ireland. They were originally a Scottish clan but eventually spread to Ireland, where they became prominent landowners and held positions of influence.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, many Barclay families migrated from Scotland to Ireland as part of the Plantation of Ulster. This was a government-backed initiative that aimed to introduce Protestant settlers to the predominantly Catholic province. The Barclay family, being Protestant, likely took advantage of this opportunity and settled in various parts of Northern Ireland.

Over time, the Barclay surname became well-established in Ireland, particularly in counties Antrim and Down. Many individuals bearing this surname played important roles in Irish society, including politics, business, and the arts.

Today, the surname Barclay is still present in Ireland, although its popularity has decreased compared to other Irish surnames. Nevertheless, it remains a testament to the ancestral heritage and historical significance of those with Irish roots who bear this name.
