:: NAME ORIGIN
::
The Irish surname Doorly is the Anglicization of the Old Gaelic surname
O'Doghair, which is a surname belonging chiefly to counties Kerry, Limerick
and South Tipperary. The name was not anglicized until the seventeenth
century when there was a recommendation by the British authorities that
all be names be written in English, so as to make registration easier.
This surname can be traced to a powerful French family who settled in
Ireland during the tenth century. They were the Dore sept, whose names
was of local origin, deriving from the name of the dwelling place or locality
where a bearer once lived. This family came from the town land of the
same name in Brittany. At this time it was common practice to identify
a man with the area from which he hailed and to refer to him in this manner.
There was also a certain civic pride involved in registering one's native
town as one's family name, especially if they emigrated to another country.
Thus the family from Dore retained their name, and due to regional dialects
and differences in spelling amongst clerks, the form Doorly evolved. The
first recorded instances of the name occur in William Petty's census of
1659 where it was found to be the principle name in the barony of Waterford.
Modern variants of the name include Doorley, Durr and Dorey.
