| It is most commonly an Anglicisation of the Gaelic clan name of Ó Ceallaigh, which means grandchild or descendant of Ceallach. The word Ceallach itself means contentious, which has been adapted by recruiting sergeants to mean "Brave Warrior" in many English-speaking armies (such as that of the Irish Army, British Army, and Australian Army), and by American popular culture to mean "Warrior Princess". The spelling "Kelley" is often associated with pre-famine largely Protestant emigrants, though the clerks at Ellis Island spelled it more than one way. |
