Doyle is a surname of Irish origin. The name is an Anglicisation of the Irish ''Ó Dubhghaill'' /oːˈd̪ˠʊwəlʲ/, meaning "descendant of ''Dubhghall''". The personal name ''Dubhghall'' contains the elements ''dubh'' "black" + ''gall'' "stranger".〔 Similar Scottish and Irish surnames, derived from the same personal name are: ''MacDougall'' / ''McDougall'' and ''MacDowell'' / ''McDowell''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Doyle Name Meaning and History )〕 During the Viking Age the term ''Dubhghoill'' was used to describe the Vikings—usually Danes—and the term ''Fionnghoill'' ("fair foreigners") was used to describe Norwegians.〔 There is uncertainty as to the exact meaning of these terms. If they do not refer to literal colours of hair, complexion, or apparel, the terms could denote "new" and "old" Vikings. If correct, the terms may distinguish differing groups or dynasties, or perhaps represent ethnonyms referring to Danes and Norwegians respectively. Later, ''Fionnghall'' was used to describe Scottish Gaels from the Hebrides, and sometimes the Hiberno-Normans (or "Old English"). The most common term for the Hiberno-Normans was ''Seanghoill'' ("old foreigners") to difference themselves from the ''Dubhghoill'' the "new foreigners" or "dark foreigners" who came to Ireland during Tudor conquest of Ireland. The name ''Doyle'' is not found in any of the old genealogies, like other prominent Irish families. This has led many to maintain that the Doyles are of somewhat recent origin in Ireland. ''Doyle'' is one of the 20 most common surnames in Ireland. In consequence it is thought that there may be several different specific origins for the name. Doyles found in Ulster may be of Scottish descent, as the name was used for MacDowell. In the 20th century the principal locations for the surname were in Dublin, Wexford, Wicklow, Carlow, Kerry and Cork. ==A== * A. E.
