Where did the Scottish Magilley family come from? What is the Scottish Magilley family crest and coat of arms? When did the Magilley family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Magilley family history?

The Dalriadan clans of ancient Scotland spawned the ancestors of the Magilley family. Their name comes from a devotion to Christianity. The Gaelic form of the name is M'A'Lios, which is a shortened form of Mac Giolla Iosa, meaning son of the servant of Jesus.

The medieval practice of spelling according to sound and repeated translation between Gaelic and English created many spelling variations of the same name. Magilley has been recorded as MacLeish, MacCleish, MacLise, MacLish, MacGillies, MacGleish, MacGillis, MacLeash and many more.

First found in Perthshire, where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the early rolls taken by the Kings of England and Scotland.

Descendents of Dalriadan-Scottish families still populate many communities across North America. They are particularly common in Canada, since many went north as United Empire Loyalists at the time of the American War of Independence. Much later, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the highland games and Clan societies that now dot North America sprang up, allowing many Scots to recover their lost national heritage. Some of the first immigrants to cross the Atlantic and come to North America bore the name Magilley, or a variant listed above: Anne McLeish settled in Pennsylvania in 1833; George and Catherine McGillis settled in Pennsylvania in 1773.
