The surname McEvoy or McKelvey has a rich history rooted in Irish heritage. It originates from the Gaelic Mac Dhuibhshíthe, which means son of the dark one of peace. The prefix Mac signifies son of in Gaelic, while Dhuibhshíthe refers to someone who is dark-skinned or dark-haired.

The McEvoys or McKelveys were part of the Ulster Clan O'Neill, which was one of the most powerful and influential clans in Ireland. The O'Neills dominated the region of modern-day Northern Ireland and were known for their strong connection to Gaelic culture and resistance against English rule.

During the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, the O'Neills fiercely resisted the invaders, leading to a decline in their power. This period marked the beginning of the anglicization of Irish surnames, including the Mac Dhuibhshíthe. The prefix Mac was often dropped, and the surname evolved into McEvoy or McKelvey.

Many McEvoys or McKelveys later emigrated from Ireland to various parts of the world, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia, during periods of economic hardship in Ireland. Today, the surname McEvoy or McKelvey is still prevalent among Irish diaspora communities and serves as a reminder of the rich ancestral history of these families.
