The surname Donnelly, sometimes spelled as O'Donnelly, is of Irish origin and has a rich history rooted in the ancient Celtic culture of Ireland. The name derives from the Gaelic O Domhnaill, which means descendant of Domhnall, with Domhnall being a common given name in Gaelic-speaking regions.
The Donnelly clan originated from County Tyrone in northern Ireland, and their lineage can be traced back to the 12th century. They were a prominent and influential Irish family, known for their bravery and military prowess. The Donnellys were often involved in regional conflicts, particularly during the tumultuous times of English colonization in Ireland.
Their name gained notoriety during the 16th and 17th centuries when they actively resisted English rule. They were fierce defenders of their lands, engaging in numerous rebellions against the encroaching British forces. The Donnelly's reputation for being steadfast in their resistance to foreign domination earned them admiration and respect amongst their fellow Irishmen.
Over time, variations in the spelling of the surname emerged, with some choosing to use the prefix O' to denote their Gaelic heritage. Today, both Donnelly and O'Donnelly are used interchangeably, and descendants of this proud clan can be found worldwide, particularly in countries with a significant Irish diaspora.
