Murphy
Murphy is an Irish surname meaning "Sea Warrior". Origins and variants The surname is a variant of two Irish surnames: "Ó Murchadha"/"Ó Murchadh" (descendant of "Murchadh"), and "Mac Murchaidh"/" Mac Murchadh" (son of "Murchadh") derived from the Irish personal name "Murchadh", which meant sea-warrior or sea-battler (''muir'' meaning sea and ''cath'' meaning battle). According to historian C. Thomas Cairney, the O'Murphys were one of the chiefly families of the Uí Ceinnselaig who in turn were a tribe from the Dumnonii or Laigin who were the third wave of Celts to settle in Ireland during the first century BC. The O'Murphys as one of the chiefly families of the Uí Ceinnselaig is supported by John O'Hart in his 1892 ''Irish Pedigrees; or, The Origin and Stem of The Irish Nation''. Murchadh is reported to have been gripped with a boiling awful rage, an extreme elevation and greatness of spirit and intellect when he joined the middle of the action and prepared to assai ...

Urchadh later became the grandfather of Brian Boru. According to the genealogies, Murchard's great-great-great-great-grandson was Flaithbheartach mac Eimhin, whose grandson, Muredach Mór Ua Flaithbheartaigh, apparently became the first to bear the sur ...

He was a son of Sochlachan mac Diarmata (died 909), and brother of Mughroin mac Sochlachan and his pedigree - written as Murchatan (from the diminutive Murchadhain) - is recorded in Leabhar Ua Maine as: ''Murchatan, son of Sochlachan, son of Diarmait, son of Fergus, son of Murchadh, son of Dubh-da-Thuath, son of Daimin, son of Darnhdairi, son of Ailell, son of Coirbin, son of Aedh, son of Crimthann Cael, son of Lughaidh, son of Dallan, son of Breasal, son of Maine Mor.''
