It was a common practice in ancient Ireland for monks or scholars to shave the crown of their heads, and they were often referred to as "Maol" as a result.
Over time, the name evolved and became anglicized, resulting in variations such as Moyles or Miles. As with many Irish surnames, the spelling and pronunciation varied depending on the region and the individual.
The Moyles or Miles name can be found in various parts of Ireland, with notable concentrations in County Mayo, County Galway, and County Roscommon. These areas were historically associated with Gaelic culture and produced many notable figures with the surname.
