O'Malley
Common Celtic patronymic
O'Malley is an Irish surname, from a Gaelic name meaning "descendant of a noble chief." It remains common in Ireland and among Irish diaspora communities.
The name appears frequently in American pop culture—a scrappy alley cat in Disney's *The Aristocats*, detectives and politicians in fiction and real life.
The O'Malleys came over during the famine.
