The surname McCoy has a rich history, particularly in relation to its Irish descent. The name is an anglicized form of the Gaelic surname "Mac Aodha," which means "son of Aodh." Aodh was a common name in ancient Ireland and is believed to have represented a pagan god of fire. The McCoy family can trace its roots back to the ancient kingdom of Dalriada, which encompassed parts of modern-day Scotland and Ireland. The clan was closely associated with the powerful O'Neill dynasty, one of the most influential Gaelic families in Ireland. During the 17th century, the Mac Aodha name underwent a transformation, with many adopting the surname McCoy. This change coincided with the English conquest of Ireland, which led to the Anglicization of many Irish surnames. The McCoy name became particularly associated with the province of Ulster, in northern Ireland. The Mccoy family played a significant role in the region's history, with many members becoming respected landowners and community leaders. In the 19th and 20th centuries, due to economic and political factors, many Mccoys emigrated from Ireland to the United States, Canada, and other parts of the world. Today, the name McCoy can be found across the globe, with many individuals proudly carrying on their Irish heritage.
