:) since it only gets a person so far: Nally, MacNally, MacAnally Derived from the Irish Mac an Fhailghligh (son of the poor man). Found in western counties of Mayo and Roscommon without the prefix. Branches of the families in Monaghan tend to use the prefix. The Ulster family Mac Con Ulaidh (son of the hound of Ulster) were also anglicised as MacNally. ..... now what partly amuses me is that on the one hand the name (which could be one of many so reveals not much) means 'son of the poor man'. an ever so humble name. and on the other hand, it means 'son of the hound of ulster' - the greatest hero of Irish, or more specifically Ulster, lore. perhaps bearers of the name can be forgiven if they are unsure of their place in this world? :)
