Conroy

Conroy is an Irish surname.

Overview

[edit]

Conroy is an Irish surname of multiple origins. In some cases it is the form used by descendants of the Ó Maolchonaire bardic family of what is now East Galway and South Roscommon.[1] In west County Galway, most bearers of the name are probably descended from the Mac Conraoi family of Delbhna Tír Dhá Locha.[2] This latter Irish family name was often anglicised into King due to the phonological similarity with the word . The Ó Cingeadh/Ó Cionga bardic family from east of Loch Ree also had their name corrupted into King, but for English phonological reasons.[3]
