The surname Rowley has its origins in Ireland and can be traced back to medieval times. It is believed to have derived from the Gaelic surname Ó Ruaidhleagh, which means "descendant of Ruaidhleagh," with "Ruaidhleagh" being a personal name meaning "red-headed." The surname underwent various anglicizations over the years, including Rolly, Rowlie, Rollye, and eventually settling on Rowley.
The Rowleys were originally a prominent Irish clan with a strong presence in County Galway and County Mayo. They were part of the ruling Gaelic nobility and held extensive lands in these regions. With the arrival of the Anglo-Normans in the 12th century, the Rowleys faced significant challenges to their authority and their lands. Many were forced to adopt English surnames and assimilate into the Anglo-Norman culture.
Over time, some Rowleys migrated to other parts of Ireland or even to other countries, such as England and the United States. The name Rowley has since spread far beyond its origins in Ireland, and individuals with this surname can be found in various parts of the world today. Despite the dispersal of the Rowley surname, it still retains its connection to Irish heritage and serves as a reminder of the clan's ancestral roots in Ireland.
