Ó Maolmhuaidh

Ó Maolmhuaidh, Gaelic-Irish surname, generally anglicised as Mulloy.

The Uí Maolmhuaidh of Fir Cell (men of the churches, in what is now County Offaly) claimed descent from the southern Uí Néill. The 16th century mercenery, Captain Greene O'Mulloy, was of this family.

The Uí Maoil Aodha ("descendant of the devotee of (St.) Aodh") family lived in east Connacht, and is now found as both Mullee and Molloy.

The Uí Maolmhaodhóg ("descendant of the devotee of (St.) Maodhóg") surname is now usually rendered as Mulvogue, or Logue, but sometimes Molloy, particularly around the Glenties area of County Donegal.

The 1890 registration of births found bearers of the surname concentrated in counties Donegal, Dublin, Galway, and Mayo.
