From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Mac Giolla Chuda A branch of the sept of O’Sullivan Mór. Bibl; IF 160 etc; Map Kerry; Plate XIII
(Irish) The son of the servant, or devotee, of Mochuda, an early Irish saint of Lismore.
A sept of the O'Sullivans, descended from O'Sullivan-More, who gave one of his sons a third part of his chieftainry, and thereupon the latter received the name of Gillycuddie, which is interpreted to mean "the little boy of the portion." The chief alone bore this remarkable name up to the wars of 1641, when the whole sept adopted it as a surname. B.L.G.
