O'Dea ; ((アイルランド語:Ó Deághaidh, formerly Ua Deághaidh)), is an Irish surname derived from ''Deághaidh'', the name of a tenth-century clan chieftain. ==O'Dea Clan Origins== The O'Dea clan came originally from County Clare where there is a fortified tower house over 500 years old known as O'Dea Castle〔''Dysart O'Dea Castle, Co. Clare'' by Risteard Ua Croinin and Martin Breen, ''The Other Clare'', Volume 9, page 17. Shannon Archaeological and Historical Society, April 1985.〕 at the townland of Dysert O'Dea ().〔(Dysert townland at the ''Irish Placenames Database'' ), ''logainm.ie''. Retrieved 3 August 2010.〕 The ruins of Dysert O'Dea Monastery, round tower, and St. Tola's high cross are 265 metres to the south-southwest of the castle in the adjacent townland of Mollaneen (),〔(Mollaneen townland at the ''Irish Placenames Database'' ), ''logainm.ie''.

Retrieved 3 August 2010.〕 ()this surname is popular with many Irish families. The name O'Dea is normally pronounced ''oh-dee'', and sometimes ''oh-day'', in English. Clan descendants may have the surnames Alday, Allday, O'Dea, Dea, Day, Daye, O'Day, O'Daye, Dee, O'Dee, Godwin, or Goodwin. Edward MacLysaght, the former Chief Herald of Ireland, writing in his book, ''Irish Families'', began his discussion of the O'Dea family as follows: In another book, ''The Surnames of Ireland'', MacLysaght describes the O'Deas as "one of the principal Dalcassian septs", and about the name itself, he remarks, "The prefix O is now almost always used, but a century ago Dea was quite usual and the English Day was regarded as synonymous."〔''Surnames of Ireland'', by Edward MacLysaght.
