Etymology of Arlie

What does the name Arlie mean?

During the 17th and 18th centuries, many Irish Gaelic names were forcibly translated in English. The Irish O'Maolmocheirghe, often anglicized as O'Mulmohery and Mulmoher, began to be substituted with Early and Earley, a loose translation of the elements "moch" meaning early and "eirghe" meaning rising.

Early Origins of the Arlie family

The surname Arlie was first found in the 12th and 13th centuries, when a bishop of Breffny near Kilmore in Galway and an abbot of Kells in County Meath were both called O'Mulmoghery. In Counties Kilkenny and Tipperary the name Erley is of Norman descent, and is sometimes found as d'Erley. Robert Erley was the Prior of Kells in County Kilkenny in 1361, and Erleystown was on record in Tipperary as early as 1305.
