Kiely Coat of Arms

The surname Kiely, of Irish descent, has a rich and ancient history. It is derived from the Gaelic name Cadhal, meaning graceful or slender. The Kiely clan originated in County Cork, situated in the southern province of Munster, Ireland.

During the medieval period, the Kiely clan held significant influence and power in the region, aligning themselves with the powerful MacCarthy dynasty. They were renowned for their military prowess and leadership abilities, often serving as warriors and commanders in battles against rival clans and English invaders.

As Ireland faced colonization and foreign rule, many Kielys fought against English oppression and participated in the numerous uprisings and rebellions that marked this turbulent period. They were known for their unwavering loyalty to their homeland and their fierce determination to preserve Irish culture and independence.

With the Great Famine of the mid-19th century, many Kielys, like countless other Irish families, were forced to emigrate to escape poverty and starvation. They settled in various parts of the world, particularly in the United States, Canada, and England, where they contributed to the growth and development of their respective adopted countries.

Today, descendants of the Kiely family can be found across the globe, carrying on the legacy of their ancestors and maintaining a strong connection to their Irish roots.
