The surname Foley has deep roots in Irish history and is derived from the Gaelic name Ó Foghladha or Ó Foghlú. The name originally belonged to a prominent Irish clan that hailed from the southern province of Munster. The Foleys were considered to be a powerful and influential family in medieval times.

The word Foghladha translates to plunderer or pirate, suggesting that the original Foleys may have been involved in activities such as raiding and piracy. Over time, the clan expanded their influence and became prominent landowners, with territories in present-day County Cork and County Waterford.

During the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, the Foley clan sided with the native Irish and actively resisted the English forces. They participated in numerous battles and skirmishes in an attempt to maintain their ancestral lands and Gaelic way of life.

As the centuries passed, many members of the Foley clan adopted the surname as their hereditary family name. Today, the surname is widely found among Irish communities, both in Ireland and in the Irish diaspora around the world. The name Foley carries with it a sense of pride in Irish heritage and a connection to a long and storied history.
