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 Taugher over the years. Early Origins of the Taugher familyThe surname Taugher was first found in Tipperary, Offaly and Ulster.
