Tully is a surname of Irish origin. The surname itself and its variants include Tally, MacTully, Tilly and Flood, all of which can derive from several different unrelated Irish families, such as Ó Maoltuile, Taithligh, Mac Maoltuile, Ó Taithligh, and Mac an Tuile. Some MacTullys changed their name to Flood as ''tuile'' is Irish for 'flood'. Tully is also an anglicised form of the Irish word ''tulach'' or ''tulaigh'', meaning 'hill' or 'mound', and is used in various Irish place names.Flanagan, Deirdre & Laurence, Irish Place Names.
