Mallery Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(English) The unhappy or unfortunate man.

Dictionary of American Family Names (1956) by Elsdon Coles Smith

(French.) A corruption of the French Mallieure; in Latin, Malus Leporarius—a name given for ill hunting the hare, according to Camden.

An Etymological Dictionary of Family and Christian Names (1857) by William Arthur

The meaning of the name presents considerable difficulties, The ordinary derivation from ree, 'king' is disposed of by the pronunciation ray. Both Professors Mackinnon and Rhys incline to a connexion with the Gaelic Mac Gilrea and Gilray, but will not commit themselves to an explanation of either Mylrea or Gilray. It may possibly have a similar origin to the Gaelic Mac Rae, 'Son of Grace or Luck' (rath), or Mac Gillivray, ‘Son of the Servant of Judgment' (brath).

Compare (G.) Mac Gilrea and Mac Ilreevy
