The surname Boyes is believed to have originated from Ireland, although its exact origins are not entirely clear. It is an anglicized version of the Irish surname Ó Buadhaigh, which translates to "descendant of Buadhach." The name Buadhach itself comes from the Irish word buaidh, meaning "victory" or "triumph." During the medieval period, the Boyes family was likely part of the Gaelic nobility in Ireland. They were known for their skill in battle and were often leaders of clans or warriors in the service of local chieftains. The name Boyes may have also been used to distinguish individuals who were skilled fighters or champions. Following the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, many Gaelic families, including the Boyes, were gradually assimilated into the new ruling class. As a result, the surname became anglicized and the original Gaelic form was often lost. In some cases, the surname Boyes may have also been brought to Ireland by English settlers during the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century. These settlers were encouraged to relocate to Ireland and were granted land by the English crown. The Boyes family could have been among these settlers, adopting the surname as they integrated into Irish society. Today, the surname Boyes is still found in Ireland and among the Irish diaspora around the world. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Irish people.
