The surname Gloryn was sometimes anglicized as Glory, as in the four householders of County Kilkenny who appear in Griffith's Valuation in the 19th century. These families, however, are not related to the MacGlory families found in Ulster and County Meath.

Early Origins of the Gloryn family
The surname Gloryn was first found in County Kilkenny (Irish: Cill Chainnigh), the former Kingdom of Osraige (Ossory), located in Southeastern Ireland in the province of Leinster, where it appears in medieval records such as the Justiciary Rolls and the Ormond Deeds. However, one William O'Gloerne was convicted as a "felon" in County Tipperary in 1292. In 1300, several O'Gloernes ambushed an Englishman at Callan in County Kilkenny. The name is also mentioned in the topographical poems of O'Dugan and O'Heerin.
