The surname "Turkey" has its origins in Ireland. It is derived from the Gaelic name "O'Torcadha," which means "descendant of Torcadh." The name Torcadh itself is believed to be derived from the Irish word "torc," meaning "boar," suggesting that the original bearers of this surname were associated with boar hunting or had characteristics reminiscent of a boar. Over time, the name evolved to "Turkey" through Anglicization. The surname "MacCurley" also has Irish roots. It is derived from the Irish Gaelic name "Mac Thorcaill," which means "son of Torcall." Like "Turkey," the name Torcall is believed to be derived from the Irish word "torc," meaning "boar." This suggests that the early bearers of the name were either associated with boar hunting or were thought to possess boar-like qualities. Both the names "Turkey" and "MacCurley" are associated with Irish descent, indicating that the family lines bearing these surnames have Irish ancestry. The names reflect the cultural and historical influences of Ireland, as well as the importance of hunting and nature in Irish society. It is worth noting that surnames have evolved and changed over time, often due to factors such as migration, language changes, or Anglicization. Thus, variations or alternative spellings of these surnames may exist.
