The surname Gaffney has Irish origins and is derived from the Gaelic name Mag Dhuibhne, which means son of Duibhne. The Gaffney family is believed to be descended from the Ui Maine tribe in County Roscommon and County Galway in Ireland. The Ui Maine were a powerful clan who controlled a large territory in the west of Ireland.
The Gaffney name can also be found in County Cavan, County Monaghan, and County Westmeath, indicating that the family may have spread out from their original territory over time. The Gaffneys were known for their involvement in the political and social life of their communities, and some were recorded as landowners and holders of important positions in local government.
During the 19th century, many Gaffney families emigrated from Ireland to other parts of the world, particularly to the United States and Australia, due to the difficult economic and political conditions in Ireland at the time. This led to the spread of the Gaffney surname to other countries and the establishment of Gaffney communities in various regions.
Today, the Gaffney surname can be found in many parts of the world, but it is still closely associated with its Irish roots and the history of the Ui Maine tribe in Ireland.
