O'Malley (Irish: Ó Máille [ ˈmˠaːl̠ʲə]) is an Irish surname. According to historian C. Thomas Cairney, the O'Malleys were the chiefly family of the Partraige who were a tribe of the Erainn, the second wave of Celts to settle in Ireland between about 500 and 100 BC.[1] However, the same historian also stated that another family of O'Malleys were a chiefly family of the Uí Mháine tribe who in turn were from the Dumnonii or Laigin who were the third wave of Celts to settle in Ireland during the first century BC.[2]
