The surname Cay, of Irish descent, has an interesting and diverse history that traces back to ancient times. The name is derived from the Gaelic word "Mac Aodha," which means "son of Aodh." Aodh was a popular personal name in Ireland, derived from the Celtic god of fire and the sun.
The Cay family has a long and rich history in Ireland. They were part of the ancient Gaelic nobility and were associated with the ruling clans in various regions. The surname Cay is most commonly found in counties such as Tyrone, Armagh, and Donegal.
During the 16th and 17th centuries, Ireland underwent a period of political and religious turmoil, known as the Plantation of Ulster. Many Irish families, including the Cay family, faced oppression and displacement during this time. Some members of the Cay family sought refuge in other countries, such as Scotland and America, while others remained in Ireland and fought for their rights.
Over time, the spelling of the Cay surname has evolved. It has been recorded as Cay, Kay, Key, Cae, and Caw, among others. This variation in spelling can be attributed to different dialects and accents and the anglicization of Gaelic names. Today, the Cay surname is still found in Ireland and in Irish diaspora communities around the world.
