The surname Haffey or O'Haffy has its roots in Irish descent and is derived from the Gaelic name Ó hEochaí, meaning descendant of Eochaidh. Eochaidh was a personal name commonly found in early Irish history.
The O'Haffy clan is believed to have originated in County Clare and County Mayo in western Ireland. The name was associated with the ancient kingdom of Connacht, where the O'Haffys played a significant role. They were often regarded as a noble family and were landowners in the region.
During the 17th century, Ireland underwent significant political and social changes due to English colonization. Many Irish clans faced oppression and were dispossessed of their lands. This led to the dispersion of the O'Haffy clan, with members migrating to different parts of Ireland and the world.
Some O'Haffys dropped the O' prefix from their name during this time to avoid persecution by English authorities and assimilate into English society. Consequently, the name Haffey emerged as an alternative form of the surname.
Today, individuals with the surname Haffey or O'Haffy can be found across the world, particularly in Ireland, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia. Many individuals with this surname maintain a strong connection to their Irish heritage and actively participate in Irish cultural events and organizations.
