O'Reilly

O'Reilly is an Irish surname, among the most common in Ireland.

In American contexts, it often evokes the conservative television commentator Bill O'Reilly or the technology publisher O'Reilly Media, whose books feature distinctive animal woodcuts on their covers.

The name derives from an Irish clan meaning "descendant of Raghallach."
