The surname HUGHEY originally appeared in Gaelic as "O hEochaidh" or "Mac Eochaidh," derived from an Irish personal name "Eachaidh," meaning a "horseman."

The surname HUGHEY. originated in Scotland between the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 and before the arrival of the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes from mainland Europe. The name comes from the Brythonic word for "fire." The four surviving sons of the assassinated king of Mercia fled to Scotland and formed the Hughey family there. Many Hughey's in later periods emigrated to Ulster from Scotland and may not be related at all to the descendants of the Irish Hughey's descended from Eachaidh. Anyway, these Hughey's are Scots Gaelic and not Irish Gaelic.
