The O tuachair surname is derived from the Gaelic Ó Tuathair or Ó Tuachair meaning "people dear." According to Woulfe, this was the name of two distinct septs, one of the Ely-O'Carroll territory of north Tipperary and South Offaly, and the other of north Connacht. Both of these septs have had their names Anglicized to several similar variations of O tuachair over the years.
