The surname Hussey, also known as O'Hosey in its Gaelic form, is of Irish origin. It is derived from the Gaelic name "Ó hEodhasa" which translates to "descendant of Eodhas," meaning "descendant of the deer." The name marks its origin from County Galway and County Mayo in the province of Connacht, western Ireland.
The family was part of the native Gaelic septs who were renowned for their contributions to literature, particularly as poets and scholars. The O'Hosey's were hereditary poets to the O'Conors, the Kings of Connacht, suggesting their high social standing. Over centuries, their name underwent anglicization and different phonetic interpretations, leading to variants such as Hosey, Hussey, O'Hosey, and O'Hussey.
Following the Norman invasion in the 12th century, another family of Husseys arrived from England, settling in County Kerry. Despite their shared anglicized surname, these two sets of Husseys are distinct from one another. The English Husseys eventually became more Irish than the Irish themselves, adopting local customs and ways, and hence became an integral part of Irish history.
The Hussey families, regardless of their origin, played significant roles in Irish history and their descendants carry the legacy worldwide. Their contributions have immensely shaped the cultural, political, and social landscapes of Ireland.
