The surname Coffey, also spelled O'Coffey, has its origins in Ireland and is derived from the Gaelic name Ó Cobhthaigh, meaning descendant of Cobhthach. The prefix Ó indicates grandson or descendant, while Cobhthach is a personal name that signifies victorious or deserving victory.
The Coffey clan originated in County Cork, in the southern part of Ireland. They were part of the larger Dalcassian tribe, which claimed descent from the legendary High King Cormac mac Airt. The Dalcassians were renowned warriors and played a significant role in Irish history.
The Coffeys were historically associated with the region of Muskerry, near the city of Cork. They were known for their prowess in battle, and several members of the clan held military positions within the Gaelic order. Over time, the Coffeys spread throughout Ireland, with some branches settling in other counties such as Clare and Tipperary.
During the period of English colonization, many Irish surnames, including Coffey, faced anglicization. The prefix Ó was often dropped, resulting in the surname being written as Coffey. Today, variations of the name can be found worldwide, particularly in countries with Irish diasporas.
The surname Coffey carries a rich legacy of Irish history and the resilience of the Irish people.
