The surname Tolley has its roots in Ireland and is believed to have originated from the Gaelic name Mac an Tuile, meaning "son of the flood." This name likely referred to someone who lived near a river or had some connection to water. Over time, the spelling and pronunciation of the name evolved, ultimately becoming Tolley.
The Tolley surname can be traced back to County Mayo in western Ireland, where many individuals with this name were found in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is likely that the Tolley family was part of the Gaelic aristocracy or a land-owning family in this area.
During the 19th century, Ireland experienced a period of social and economic upheaval, known as the Great Famine. This devastating event led to widespread emigration, with many Irish families seeking better opportunities in other countries, particularly the United States.
As a result, some members of the Tolley family may have left Ireland during this time and settled in other parts of the world. Today, individuals with the surname Tolley can be found in various countries, including the United States, Canada, and Australia, among others.
The Tolley surname remains a part of Irish heritage and serves as a reminder of the rich history and culture of the country.
