The surname Fitz-Rery is of Irish origin, and was derived from the Gaelic name O'Riabhaigh, which means son of Riabhach. The name Riabhach itself means brindled or grizzled, and may have originally referred to someone with streaked or mottled hair.
The O'Riabhaigh clan was a prominent family in County Clare, located in the western part of Ireland. They were part of the Dál gCais, a powerful tribal grouping that played a significant role in Irish history and politics.
The prefix Fitz- in the surname Fitz-Rery indicates that the family had Norman ancestry, as it was commonly used to denote the illegitimate offspring of a Norman nobleman. The Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century brought significant changes to Irish society, including the introduction of new surnames and naming practices.
Over time, the O'Riabhaigh family anglicized their name to Fitz-Rery, and it became established as a hereditary surname. Many members of the Fitz-Rery family would have been involved in local governance, landholding, and other aspects of Irish life.
Today, the surname Fitz-Rery is relatively rare, but it still carries the rich history and heritage of its Irish and Norman roots.
