The surname Criery or MacCriery is of Irish descent and has an interesting history that dates back many centuries. The name originated from the Gaelic language and is derived from the personal name "Ciarán," which means "dark-haired" or "black." The prefix "Mac" means "son of," indicating that the name was originally used to identify the descendants of a man named Ciarán.
The MacCriery family were part of the ancient Gaelic nobility in Ireland. They were primarily associated with the historic province of Ulster, specifically County Donegal. The MacCrierys were known for their loyalty, bravery, and association with the ruling O'Donnell clan.
Over time, variations of the MacCriery surname emerged, including Criery, McCriery, and even Creery. These variations are due to the anglicization of Gaelic names during the period of English influence in Ireland. Anglicization was a common practice for Irish surnames, as the English authorities attempted to assimilate the Irish population.
Today, individuals with the Criery or MacCriery surname can be found scattered across the globe, as many Irish emigrants carried their names to countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and beyond. Despite the variations in spelling, those with this surname can take pride in their rich Irish heritage and the legacy of their ancestors.
