The surname Turnly or Turnley is of Irish origin and has a fascinating history. It is derived from the Gaelic name "Mac Tighearnáin," meaning "son of Tighearnán." The Gaelic name itself is a patronymic name derived from the personal name Tighearnán, which means "lord" or "ruler." The Turnly or Turnley surname has its roots in County Fermanagh, located in present-day Northern Ireland. The Mac Tighearnáin clan originally resided in this county and held a prominent position within the local community. During the era of English colonization and the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century, many Irish families, including the Mac Tighearnáin clan, faced displacement and dislocation. This led to the migration of some members of the clan to other parts of Ireland, as well as to other countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia. Over time, the surname Mac Tighearnáin underwent various anglicizations, resulting in the variations Turnly or Turnley. These anglicizations were common during the period of English influence and attempted to make the Irish names more easily pronounceable to English speakers. Today, individuals with the surname Turnly or Turnley can still be found in various parts of the world, particularly in areas with Irish diaspora communities. The surname serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of the Mac Tighearnáin clan and their enduring legacy.
