Carty
Carty or Carthy is a surname likely to have originated from the Irish name Ó Cárthaigh (Connacht and , ; anglicised as O'Coraic). It took its current form ''Carty'' during later historical events when many Gaelic Irish names were anglicised. It has been speculated that some Irish immigrants to America and/or their descendants added ''Mc'', changing their names to McCarty in the incorrect belief that they were returning the name back to its original form. The Carty name originates from the south of the island of Ireland Wexford and could have been a subclan of the much larger McCarthy clan, and a member of the Clan Eoghanachta.
