Murphy
Murphy is an Anglicized version of two Irish surnames: ''Ó Murchadha''/''Ó Murchadh'' ("descendant of Murchadh"), and ''Mac Murchaidh''/''Mac Murchadh'' ("son of Murchadh") derived from the Irish personal name ''Murchadh'', which meant "sea-warrior" or "sea-battler". (''Muir'' meaning "sea" and ''cath'' meaning "battle").
It is said of Murrough (Murchadh) as he entered the thick of the fight and prepared to assail the foreign invaders, the Danes, when they had repulsed the Dal-Cais, that ‘he was seized with a boiling terrible anger, an excessive elevation and greatness of spirit and mind. A bird of valour and championship rose in him, and fluttered over his head and on his breath.
In modern Irish, "Ó Murchú", rather than "Ó Murchadha", is used.
Murphy is the most common surname in Ireland, the fourteenth most common surname in Northern Ireland and the fifty-eighth most common surname in the United States.
