The surname Lillie or MacLilly has its roots in Ireland, specifically of Irish descent. It is derived from the Gaelic name "Mac Gille Fhaoláin," which translates to "son of the servant of St. Faolán." The name Faolán, meaning "wolf," was a popular given name in medieval Ireland.
The MacLillys were originally from Connacht, one of the four provinces of Ireland. They were known to be a part of the Ui Maine clan, which had strong ties to the region. The Ui Maine were a powerful and influential Gaelic clan in medieval Ireland.
The MacLillys were likely the descendants of a prominent individual who served as a servant or follower of St. Faolán. In medieval Ireland, many surnames were derived from individuals who were associated with a saint or had a special connection to the church.
Over time, the surname MacLilly evolved into Lillie. This change in spelling was common as the English language exerted its influence over Gaelic names. Many Irish surnames underwent anglicization during this period.
Today, individuals with the surname Lillie or MacLilly can trace their ancestry back to the ancient Ui Maine clan of Connacht and the servant of St. Faolán.
