The surname Carey, also spelled Cary, has Irish origins dating back to ancient Gaelic times. The name is derived from the Old Gaelic name O' Ciardha, which means descendant of Ciardha, a personal name meaning dark one or black. The O'Ciardha sept was originally located in County Cork and County Kerry in the southwestern part of Ireland. The family was known for its involvement in the political and military affairs of the region.
During the 16th and 17th centuries, many members of the O'Ciardha sept were displaced from their lands during the English conquest of Ireland and the subsequent plantation of Ulster. As a result, many Careys emigrated to other countries, including the United States, Canada, and Australia.
In the United States, the Carey surname is particularly common in the southern states, especially in areas with a strong Irish-American population. Many Irish immigrants who arrived during the 19th century adopted the Carey surname, either upon arrival or shortly thereafter. Over time, the surname has spread throughout the country and is now found in various communities.
Today, the Carey surname is widely recognized as a proud symbol of Irish heritage and ancestry, with many individuals continuing to celebrate their roots and preserve the legacy of their ancestors.
