Aulay Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
AULAY: This name is of twofold origin, or rather two names of different origin appear alike in English form. (1) From the OG. personal name Amhalghaidh, pronounced almost as Aulay or Owley. From this comes the Aulay of the family of the old earls of Lennox. In our early records the name has undergone some strange transformations. Amolngnaid, king of Connacht, died between 440—450. From him the district of Torawley (Tir Amolgnado or Amhalghaidh) takes its name. The spelling of Lennox Aulay is very varied and somewhat perplexing in the early records: Amalech, Amelec, Auleth Ameleth, Amelech, Amhlew, Hamelen, and Havel, are some of the forms under which it appears in charters. About 1225 Amelec received from his brother the earl a grant of Faslane and an extensive tract of country on both sides of the Gairloch (Levenax, p. 91, 92). About the same date he granted a salt-pan in his land of Rosneath and wood for repairs to the monks of Paisley (RMP., p. 211). He also gave the same monks all the tracts of nets through the whole of Gairloch for catching salmon and other fish, reserving to himself and his heirs every fourth salmon taken through these tracts (ibid., p. 209—10). As Amelic he also gave the monastery of Paisley the church of Roseneath with all its pertinents, and is a witness in several charters by his brother the earl. This Aulay had a son, also named Aulay, who had two sons, Aulay or Alan de Fasselane and Duncan. Walter de Fasselane, son of Aulay de Fasselane (Levenax, p. 21, 91, 92), was the sole representative of the male line of the house of Lennox, and having married Margaret, countess of Lennox acquired with her its possessions (The Lennox, I, p. 211—13). About the year 1334 we have mention of Anweleth (a miscopying of Auweleth) de Fosselane, and in 1351 of Avileth dominus de Fosselane (Levenax, p. 92, 93), the same person. (2) from ON. Olafr, which represents ON. Aleifr with nasal a, the II being retained in Old English Anlaf. In early Irish the name appears as Amlaib, Alaib, from which comes later Gaelic Amhhibh, MacAmhlaibh, Macaulay in the Hebrides. See Macaulay.
