The surname Conolly, alternatively spelled as O'Conolly, originates from Ireland and carries a significant history rooted in Irish heritage. In Gaelic, the name is rendered as Ó Conghaile, meaning descendant of Conghal. The Conolly family is believed to be of ancient Irish descent, and their lineage can be traced back to the 10th century.
The Conollys were prominent in County Donegal, situated in the northwestern part of Ireland. They were known to be a distinguished Gaelic clan, holding positions of power and influence within the region. The family's ancestral seat was in the townland of Kilgawny, near the village of Portnoo.
Over time, some Conollys dropped the O' prefix from their surname. However, many descendants still proudly carry the O'Conolly name as a testament to their Irish roots. As with many Irish families, the Conolly name was significantly impacted by the Great Famine in the mid-19th century, leading to widespread emigration to other parts of the world, particularly the United States and Australia.
Today, individuals with the surname Conolly or O'Conolly can be found worldwide, still honoring their Irish heritage and contributing to the diverse tapestry of global society.
