The surname Brickley is of Irish origin and has a long and fascinating history. It is derived from the Gaelic name O Broicléain, which means "descendant of Broicléan." This Gaelic name is itself a diminutive of the word "broic," which means "badger." Therefore, the name Brickley can be translated as "son of the little badger."
The name Brickley is predominantly found in County Kerry, located in southwestern Ireland. The Brickleys were originally part of the Eóganacht Raithlind, a tribe that ruled over this region during ancient times.
During the medieval period, Ireland underwent numerous invasions and political changes. The Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century and subsequent English rule had a significant impact on Irish surnames. Many Irish families, including the Brickleys, anglicized their names to better integrate into English-speaking society. As a result, the original Gaelic name O Broicléain gradually transformed into Brickley.
Over time, some Brickleys emigrated from Ireland to other parts of the world, particularly to the United States and Canada, seeking better opportunities and a new life. Today, the surname Brickley can be found in these countries, as well as in other English-speaking nations across the globe.
