The surname Jay, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back centuries.
The name Jay is derived from the Gaelic name Ó Deagiáin, which translates to "descendant of Deagán." Deagán is a diminutive form of the Gaelic name Déaglán, meaning "full of goodness" or "good."
The Ó Deagiáin clan originated in County Kerry, located in southwestern Ireland. They were part of the larger Dál gCais tribal grouping, which was prominent in Munster during the medieval period.
Over time, members of the Ó Deagiáin clan migrated and settled in various parts of Ireland. As they dispersed, the surname underwent changes in spelling and pronunciation. It eventually evolved into different variations, including Jay, O'Jaye, O'Dea, and O'Dee.
In addition to County Kerry, the Jay surname can also be found in other counties across Ireland, such as Clare and Limerick. Many individuals with the surname Jay have Irish ancestry and can trace their family roots back to these regions.
Today, the Jay surname continues to be a significant part of Irish heritage, representing the ancestral connections and history of the Ó Deagiáin clan.
