Gogarty is Irish in Origin.
Gogarty is a surname of Irish origin. It is derived from the Gaelic name "O'Gogartaigh," which means "descendant of Gogartach." The name Gogartach is believed to have been a personal name in ancient Ireland, but its meaning is uncertain. The Gogarty family was prominent in County Mayo and County Dublin, and the name is still relatively common in those areas today.
The name Gogarty is typically pronounced "go-GAR-tee" in English. It is a gender-neutral name, as it is a surname rather than a given name. However, it is more commonly used as a masculine name. The name has a long history in Ireland, and many notable individuals have borne the name Gogarty over the years. One of the most famous was Oliver St. John Gogarty, an Irish poet, author, and politician who was a friend of James Joyce and a member of the Irish Senate.
The name Gogarty is composed of two elements: "O'," which means "descendant of," and "Gogartaigh," which is the personal name from which the surname is derived. The name is a good example of the traditional Irish naming system, which used patronymics to indicate a person's ancestry. Today, the name Gogarty is most commonly found in Ireland and the United States, where many Irish immigrants settled in the 19th and 20th centuries.
