Feeley

Feeley is a surname of Irish origin. It is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name Ó Fiallaigh, meaning "descendant of Fiallach." The given name Fiallach is derived from the word fial, meaning "modest" or "generous."

The Feeley surname is most commonly found in the counties of Roscommon, Sligo, and Leitrim in Ireland. Emigration from Ireland in the 19th and 20th centuries led to the surname's presence in countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia.

Variations of the name include Feehely, Feeley, Feely, and O'Feeley. These variations often arose due to the Anglicization process or regional differences in pronunciation.
