The surname Tuohy, also spelled O'Toohey, has its roots in Ireland. It is an anglicized form of the Gaelic surname Ó Tuathaigh, meaning "descendant of Tuathach."
The name Tuathach is derived from the word "tuath," which means "tribe" or "people" in Gaelic. It was a common practice in ancient Ireland to identify individuals by their association with a particular tribe or clan.
The Tuohy clan originated in County Galway in the western part of Ireland. They were part of the larger Uí Maine tribe, which was known for their warrior traditions.
The Tuohy clan played a significant role in Irish history, particularly in the region of Connacht. They were known for their resistance against English colonization and fought in numerous battles to defend their land and culture.
During the period of English rule, many Irish families anglicized their surnames to conform to English naming conventions. The surname Ó Tuathaigh became Tuohy or O'Toohey as a result of this process.
Today, descendants of the Tuohy or O'Toohey clan can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world, particularly in countries with a significant Irish diaspora such as the United States, Canada, and Australia.
