McNulty (MacNulty)〔Rev. Patrick Woulfe, Priest of the Diocese of Limerick, Member of the Council, National Academy of Ireland, ''Irish Names and Surnames'', © 1967 Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Company, in Irish and English, p. 128, 319〕 is an Irish surname historically associated with County Donegal in northwest Ireland and, possibly, with the moniker Ultach, an agnomen (additional surname) used by some of Gaelic Ireland's MacDunleavy or MacDonlevy (dynasty) royals in its earlier Gaelic language form. The surname denotes that its bearer is of the ancient Irish Ulaid race (singl. Ultaigh). In alternate spelling, Ulaid may be encountered as Ulaidh or Uladh. It is pronounced in Gaelic language "Ully" and has been corrupted in English to "ulty".〔G.H. Hack ''Genealogical History of the Donlevy Family'' Columbus, Ohio: printed for private distribution by Chaucer Press, Evans Printing Co. (1901), p 38 (Wisconsin Historical Society Copy)〕 The surname is derived from an anglicized contraction of the original Irish patronymic ''Mac'' (descended)〔See,, noting that the Mac prefix element of a Gaelic patronymic surname or clan name (see Anthony, ibid, p. 230) is not actually the Gaelic word Mac, meaning son, but, is a shortened form of the original pre-11th-century Gaelic prefix "mac meic" meaning "the son of the son of … etc."〕〔''11th Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary'', Springfield, Merriam Webster's, Inc., © 2003, 2004, p. 1189, this less common English usage of son to which "Mac" properly translates when used as the element of a Gaelic patronymic is "son … 3 : a person closely associated with or deriving from a formative agent (as a nation, school or race)〕 ''an Ultaigh''〔''Dictionary of American Family Names'', Vol. 2 G-N, Oxford, Oxford University Press, © 2003, ISBN 0-19-516558-6 (Vol. 2), p 560〕〔() ''Origin of the Surname, McNulty, and its Association with the McDonlevys/Dunleavys of County Down'', Appendix 1, by Paul B.

McNulty, Emeritus Professor, University College Dublin, a genealogical researcher and Irish language speaker. Prof. McNulty, under subtitle "Migration of the Dunleavys From County Down" states "This (m'Nich Ultagh) presumably was further transformed to Mac an Ultaigh because the British had confused the female prefix, Nic/Nich., with the male prefix, Mac (Appendix 3, p 19)." Appendix 3 noting the confusion of the Irish Mac and Nic prefixes for Mac an Ultaigh and Nic an Ultaigh on the 1601 Elizabethan pardon of one Morris m'Nich Ultagh, which is Fiant number 6494, is sourced at footnote 69.〕 Variant spellings include McNaulty,〔P.

Capitalization and spacing are inconsistent following either prefix.〔See John O'Hart, ''Irish Pedigrees; or, The Origin and Stem of the Irish Nation'', 5th edition, in two volumes, originally published in Dublin in 1892, reprinted, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Company, 1976, Vol. 2, where "Mac Nulty" at page 908 of the volume's "Index of Sirnames" appears with a space between its Mac prefix and Nulty but referencing to the unspaced "MacNulty, Donegal", "MacNulty, Cavan", "MacNulty, Mayo" at p. 9 of the volume under subtitle "Families of Ireland".〕〔See, ''The Famine Immigrants - Lists of Irish Immigrants Arriving at the Port of New York, 1846–1851'', in multiple volumes, Ira A.

Depending on the particular American text source (United States or Canadian), it may follow the British convention or it may place all surnames beginning with the prefix "Mac" separately from surnames beginning with the prefix "Mc" at the alphabetical position of "Mac" and all surnames beginning with "Mc", instead, at the subsequent alphabetical position of "Mc".〔''Fowler's Modern English Usage'', 3rd edition by R.W.
