Dorrity
Soundex:
Summary
Mary DORRITY emigrated from County Clare, IRELAND with her husband
Patrick GRADY. Beyond that, we know little about this family.
Origins
The DORRITY name is a reduced Anglicized form of Ó DOCHARTAIGH
which, of course, is a patronymic. That is, Ó DOCHARTAIGH
means "descendant of Dochartach". The Dochartaighs were
chieftans in Donegal. The name itself means "obstructive or
hurtful".
Spelling Variations
DOHERTY, DORRITY, DOUGHERTY, Ó DOCHARTAIGH
Just because a spelling appears in this list does not imply that
families with that spelling have the same origins.
