Brolly Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
= Bra(i)ley, q.v.
User-submitted Reference
The northern Irish variant of Brolly is a recent anglicisation of the old Irish (Gaelic) surname Brólaigh, traditionally used in the surname form Ó Brólaigh. This anglicisation came as an attempt to dessimate Gaelic identity, culture, and language.
Ó Brólaigh originates in Ulster, northern Ireland, and genetic testing suggests that the geneology dates back to the Cruthin people, which may be either the earliest settlers of Ireland pre-dating the Celts, or may just be the earliest settlers of Ireland of which can be named; Cruthin may be mutual with the Picts of Scotland, forming the same group, as the Pict word for themselves is also cruthin, and they are also the first named settlers of Scotland.
