The surname McCafferey or McCaffrey is of Irish origin and is derived from the Gaelic name Mac Eachmharcaigh, which translates to son of Eachmarcach. Eachmarcach is derived from the words each meaning steed and marcach meaning rider or horseman. As such, the name is associated with the occupation of horse breeding or horseman.
The McCafferey/McCaffrey family is believed to have originated in County Monaghan, located in the province of Ulster, in northeastern Ireland. They were one of the many ancient clans that contributed to Irish history. The clan held a position of prestige and power in the region, and members of the McCafferey/McCaffrey family were known for their military skills and prowess as horsemen.
During the turbulent times of Irish history, particularly during the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century, many Irish families faced upheaval and displacement. The McCafferey/McCaffrey clan, like many others, experienced significant changes to their way of life. Some members migrated to other parts of Ireland, while others emigrated to different countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and beyond.
Today, the surname McCafferey or McCaffrey can still be found predominantly in Ireland and in Irish diaspora communities around the world, serving as a reminder of the family's rich history and Irish heritage.
