The surname Milley, also sometimes spelled as O'Millea, has its origins in Ireland. It is an ancient Irish surname deriving from the Gaelic name "Ó Maol Aodha," which translates to "descendant of the devotee of St. Aodh" or "descendant of the servant of Aodh." The name Aodh itself means "fire," symbolizing the qualities of passion and energy.
The O'Millea clan was primarily associated with the region of County Tipperary in Ireland. They were part of the larger Dál gCais tribal grouping, which was one of the most powerful dynasties in early medieval Ireland. The O'Milleas held a position of prominence within the tribe, and they were known for their bravery and military prowess.
During the period of English colonization in Ireland, which began in the 12th century, many Irish surnames, including O'Millea, underwent anglicization. This led to variations in spelling and pronunciation, such as the emergence of the name Milley.
Today, descendants of the O'Millea clan can be found in various parts of the world, particularly in countries with large Irish diasporas, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The surname Milley/O'Millea serves as a link to the rich history and heritage of the Irish people.
