The surname Selley or Silley, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that can be traced back several centuries. The name is derived from the Gaelic personal name "Séighín," which means "little hawk." Over time, this name evolved into various forms, including Silley and Selley.
The first recorded instance of the Selley or Silley surname can be found in the 17th century in County Cork, Ireland. At this time, Ireland was under English rule, and many Irish surnames were anglicized to fit the English language and naming conventions.
During this period, many Irish families faced persecution and were forced to adapt their names to avoid discrimination. As a result, the spelling of the Selley or Silley surname may have varied, and different branches of the family may have adopted different spellings.
In the following centuries, members of the Selley or Silley family migrated to different parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, and Australia. They brought their surname and Irish heritage with them, contributing to the multicultural fabric of these countries. Today, descendants of the Selley or Silley family can be found in various parts of the world, proudly carrying on their Irish ancestry.
