The surname Godley is of Irish origin and is derived from the Gaelic name Mac Oitcheallaigh, which means son of Oitcheallach. The Oitcheallach, in turn, was a personal name that was derived from the word oithe, meaning villager or rustic, and ceallach, which means strife or contention. The name was likely given to someone who was known for their village-like or rustic qualities, or someone who was known for their contentious nature.
The Godley surname is most commonly found in the province of Ulster in Ireland. The name was originally found in County Tyrone, where the Godley family held a seat from ancient times. Over the centuries, the name spread to other parts of Ireland and eventually made its way to other countries, including England and the United States.
Like many Irish surnames, the Godley name may have undergone variations in spelling over the years, such as Godly, Godlee, and MacGodley. The name may have also been anglicized upon emigration to other countries.
Today, the Godley surname is still found in Ireland and across the world, with many individuals proudly bearing the name and celebrating their Irish heritage.
