The surname Orgill has its origins in Ireland. It is an anglicized version of the Gaelic name "Ó Foghladha," which means "descendant of Foghlaidh." The name Foghlaidh itself has various meanings, including "pirate" or "plunderer." It is believed that the name originally referred to a seafaring people or those who lived by the coast.
The Ó Foghladha clan was prominent in County Wicklow in southeastern Ireland. They were known for their skills in navigation and trade, as well as their involvement in the fishing industry. The clan also had a reputation for being fierce warriors and defenders of their land.
During the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, many Gaelic clans were forced to anglicize their names to conform to English customs. This was done in an effort to assimilate into the new ruling class.
Over time, the name Ó Foghladha underwent several transformations, eventually becoming Orgill. Today, individuals with the surname Orgill can still trace their ancestry back to the Ó Foghladha clan in Ireland.
