Gately Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Gateley,' a parish in Norfolk, near Fakenham.
Johannes de Gaythele, 1379: Poll Tax of Yorkshire.
Ó Gatlaoich A south Roscommon name.
Keightley, an English name found in Co. Derry, is an occasional synonym. SIF 75
Woulfe in a two line note on Ó Gatlaoich gives Keatley, Keitley and Keightley, as well as Gately, as the anglicized forms of it. There may have been a few isolated instances of this; but in fact Keightley and its,variants are English names taken from a place in Yorkshire. None of them appears as a synonym of Gately in Matheson's Synonymes. Birth registrations indicate that the few Keightley families in Ireland are almost all found in Ulster or Dublin; Gately on the other hand, the true modern form of Ó Gatlaoich, is peculiar to Co. Roscommon and adjacent areas, particularly the town and barony of Athlone. Any references to the name Gately I have met in records earlier than 1800 are to the part of the country mentioned above, e.g. to John Gately, a miller, of Ahascragh, in 1746.The fact that MacGattely, not O'Gattely, appears in the “census” of 1659 as one of the principal names in the barony of Athlone can be disregarded, as the clerks who compiled that document frequently confused these prefixes in the case of names beginning with C or G. Keightly references are fairly numerous owing to the prominence of the family of Lord-Justice Thomas Keightley (c. 1650-1719): these, however, were definitely not of the Ó Gatlaoich sept: the family came to Ireland from Hertfordshire.
Ó Gatlaoich A south Roscommon name.
Keightley, an English name found in Co. Derry, is an occasional synonym. SIF 75
