Garvey First Name Meaning

Garvey is a male name of Irish origin, meaning "Rough". Derived from the Gaelic Ó Gairbhith, it signifies "descendant of Gairbhith", with Gairbhith translating to "rough peace". The name is associated with three distinct Ó Gairbhith septs in Ireland, including those in Ulaid, Airgíalla, and Uí Ceinnselaig. Notable individuals bearing this name include Adrian Garvey, Amy Ashwood Garvey, and Marcus Garvey. Fictional characters such as Quinn Garvey and Eugene Garvey also feature the name in popular media. The name has a strong historical and cultural significance, and its popularity extends beyond Ireland. Additionally, it is important to note that the similar name MacGarvey, derived from the Mac Gairbhith sept in County Donegal, is not usually anglicized as Garvey.
