The surname Manley or Mandley has an interesting history of Irish descent. Its origin can be traced back to the Gaelic name Ó Maonghaile, which translates to "descendant of Maonghal," a personal name that likely meant "brave" or "strong." Over time, this Gaelic name evolved into several variations, including Manley and Mandley.
The Manley surname is predominantly associated with County Galway in the western part of Ireland. It is believed that the first Manley families settled in this region, establishing their roots in the local community. The name eventually spread to other parts of Ireland, particularly County Cork and County Mayo.
The Manley family played a significant role throughout Irish history, with some members holding positions of authority and power in their communities. They were known for their bravery, strength, and leadership skills. Many Manley individuals were involved in local governance, serving as landowners, politicians, or military officers.
During the era of Irish migration to other countries, particularly the United States, Canada, and Australia, the Manley surname traveled with families seeking new opportunities and a better life. Today, descendants of the Manley or Mandley name can be found in various parts of the world, proudly carrying their Irish heritage.
