The surname Curley or McTurley is of Irish origin and has a long history dating back to ancient Gaelic times. The name is derived from the Gaelic Mac Toirdhealbhaigh, meaning son of Toirdhealbhach. The original bearer of the surname was likely a descendant of a man named Toirdhealbhach, an ancient Irish personal name.
The Curley or McTurley family can trace its roots to the ancient territory of Breffny (modern-day counties Leitrim and Cavan) in the province of Connacht in Ireland. They were part of the powerful O'Rourke clan, who were chieftains in the region for centuries.
The surname Curley or McTurley was first recorded in written documents in the 11th century, and the family played a significant role in Irish history, particularly during the medieval period. They were known for their bravery and leadership in battles, and many Curley or McTurley individuals held positions of authority within their communities.
During the period of English colonization in Ireland, many members of the Curley or McTurley family were forced to leave their ancestral lands and emigrate to other countries, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia. Today, individuals with the surname Curley or McTurley can be found throughout the world, but the name still retains its strong Irish heritage.
