The surname Kielty or O'Quilty has its roots in Irish history and is derived from the Gaelic name Ó Coigligh. The prefix O indicates a descendant or family of, while Coigligh is believed to be a personal name derived from the word coigeal, meaning prudent or cautious.
The O'Quilty family originated in County Clare, in the western part of Ireland. They were known to be part of the Dalcassian tribes, which were powerful medieval clans. The Dalcassians were descendants of Cormac Cas, the legendary King of Munster, and their lineage can be traced back to the 10th century.
The O'Quilty clan was prominent in County Clare and held land in the barony of Moyarta. They were associated with the O'Briens, the ruling family of Thomond (the historical name for the region of Clare and Limerick). The O'Quiltys were loyal followers and warriors for the O'Briens, and their histories are often intertwined.
Over time, the anglicization of Irish names occurred, and the surname O'Quilty gradually evolved into Kielty. This Anglicization was a result of English influence and the desire to assimilate into English-speaking society.
Today, descendants of the Kielty or O'Quilty families can still be found in Ireland, particularly in County Clare. They have a rich heritage and are part of the larger tapestry of Irish history and culture.
