The surname Jolley or Jolly has a rich history, dating back to the Middle Ages. It is a surname of Irish origin, but also appears in England, France, and other European countries, indicating a complex migratory history.
The Jolley or Jolly surname is derived from the old French "joli" meaning "festive" or "joyful". The term was likely used as a nickname for someone who was cheerful or merry, and then adopted as a surname. In Ireland, it is often an anglicised form of the Gaelic O'Daibheid, meaning "descendant of David".
The Jolley or Jolly family first found their roots in County Clare on the west coast of Ireland. From there, they spread throughout the country and eventually emigrated to various parts of the world, often due to economic hardship or seeking better opportunities. The Great Famine of the 19th century, in particular, led to a large-scale migration of Irish families, including those bearing the Jolley or Jolly surname, to North America, Australia, and other parts of the globe.
Over the centuries, the Jolley or Jolly family has contributed to the cultural, economic, and political life of their adopted communities, maintaining their Irish heritage while also integrating into their new societies.
