The surname Bressy or Bressey has roots in Irish descent. It is believed to be of Gaelic origin, derived from the Irish surname "O'Breisigh" or "O Breasach," meaning "descendant of Breisigh" or "son of the spirited one." The name Breisigh itself is thought to be derived from the Irish word "breasach," meaning "brave" or "spirited."
The Bressy or Bressey surname can be traced back to the ancient province of Connacht in western Ireland. The family is primarily associated with County Mayo, where they were known to be a prominent sept or clan. They were part of the larger O'Flaherty clan, who held lands in the barony of Ross, near Galway Bay.
During the medieval period, the Bressy or Bressey family played an important role in local politics and governance. They were known to have held positions of power and influence within their community. In particular, they were associated with the O'Flaherty chieftains, acting as advisors and warriors.
Over time, variations of the surname Bressy or Bressey emerged, including Bressie, Bressey, Brissie, and others. These variations may have arisen due to regional dialects or changes in spelling conventions. Today, descendants of the Bressy or Bressey family can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world, as many Irish emigrated during times of hardship.
