's conquest of Ulaid in 1177. Here some of the MacDonlevys were nicknamed ''Ultagh/Ultach''.
However, historical records such as the 1659 "Census" as well as Griffith's Valuation (1848-1864) show that concentrations of McNultys were found in parts of Ireland where the MacDonlevys had little presence, coupled with DNA analysis showing that the McNultys may actually derive from other Gaelic families that migrated from Ulaid and not just the MacDonlevy's.
The names ''Ultagh/Ultach'' and ''Mac an Ultaigh'' applied to only those that fled Ulaid and was not used for those that remained.
Regardless of their actual origin, the first McNulty to be recorded is found in the

The probable transition of the name ''Mac an Ultaigh'' from the Ultagh MacDonlevy's can be seen around 1601 where one "Morris Ultagh" is recorded as "Morris m'Nich Ultagh".
The surname prefix "m'Nich" appears to be an English confusion of the female prefix ''Nic'' with the male prefix ''Mac''.
