The surname Healey, or its variant O'Healey, has its origins in Ireland and is derived from the Gaelic name Ó hÉilidhe. The prefix Ó denotes descendant of, and hÉilidhe is believed to have derived from the word éilte, meaning claim or boast. The name is associated with the ancient Irish province of Connacht.

The Healey clan presumably originated in County Sligo, as it is recorded that they were part of the powerful Clan Ó hEadhra, also known as the Clan Éilidhe, who held territory in that region during the medieval period. Like many Irish families, the Healeys were dispossessed of their land during the English conquest of Ireland in the 16th and 17th centuries. This led to widespread emigration, particularly during the Great Famine in the mid-19th century.

As a result, many individuals with the surname Healey can be found today in countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom, with significant diaspora communities. The name has also been anglicized to Haley or Haly over time. Notable individuals with this surname include John J. Healy, an Irish-American politician, and Sir Tim Healy, an Irish nationalist and politician who served as the first Governor-General of the Irish Free State.

Overall, the surname Healey or O'Healey carries a rich history rooted in Ireland, with a significant presence around the world due to migration.
