The surname Herlihy or O'Herlihy has its roots in the rich tapestry of Irish history. Deriving from the Gaelic "O'hIrghileach," which means "descendant of Irghileach," the name has connotations of long-standing heritage. The prefix "O" signifies "descendant of" and was commonly used in Gaelic surnames.

The progenitor of the name, Irghileach, is believed to have been a warrior or chief of significant stature. The O'Herlihys are said to have descended from Eoghanacht, a major royal dynasty in southern Ireland from which many prominent families of Munster trace their lineage. This dynasty was named after Eoghan Mor, who was the son of the semi-mythical 3rd-century Irish king, Oilill Olum.

The family originally held territory in the area of what is now the county of Cork, particularly around the region of Ivaha in the west, which was their ancient principality. Over time, the O'Herlihys spread to other parts of Cork, as well as into Kerry. Despite the spread of the family, the core of their identity remained strongly tied to their Munster origins.

Throughout history, members of the O'Herlihy family have preserved their cultural identity, contributing significantly to Ireland's political, clerical, and cultural life, even as the use of Gaelic surnames waned under English rule. Today, the Herlihy surname is a proud emblem of Ireland's enduring legacy.
