The surname Poley, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back several centuries. The name itself is derived from the Gaelic word "poll" which translates to "a pool" or "a deep hole." This suggests that the name likely originated as a topographic or locational surname, referring to someone who lived near a pool or a deep hole.
Over time, the surname Poley evolved and spread throughout Ireland. It is believed that different branches of the family may have adopted slightly different variations of the name, such as Polley or Polleye. The distribution of the surname suggests that it was particularly prominent in counties such as Galway, Mayo, and Roscommon, although Poley families can be found in various other counties as well.
During the 19th century, many individuals with the surname Poley emigrated from Ireland to other parts of the world, particularly to the United States and Canada. This migration was largely driven by economic factors and the desire for better opportunities. As a result, Poley families can now be found in these countries, contributing to the diverse fabric of their respective societies.
Today, the surname Poley continues to be carried by descendants of those who originated from Ireland, serving as a reminder of their ancestral roots and heritage.
