The surname Olley, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that can be traced back several centuries. The name is believed to have originated from the Gaelic name "O hUallaigh", meaning "descendant of Uallach."

The Uallach clan was a sept of the larger O'Neills of Ulster, one of the most powerful and influential Gaelic families in ancient Ireland. They were known for their warrior prowess and their loyalty to their clan and chieftain.

Over time, the name O hUallaigh underwent various phonetic changes and Anglicization, eventually becoming Olley. This transformation occurred during the period of Irish history when the English language and culture were being imposed upon the native Irish population.

As a result, many Irish surnames experienced alterations, either voluntarily or forcibly, to better align with English pronunciation and spelling conventions. This was particularly common among families who sought to assimilate into English society and distance themselves from their Gaelic heritage.

Today, individuals with the surname Olley can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world where Irish migration has occurred, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Despite the changes in spelling and pronunciation, many individuals with the surname Olley still maintain a strong connection to their Irish roots and take pride in their Gaelic ancestry.
