Ó Flaithbertaigh, and the Ulster variant Ó Laithbheartaigh,〔 is a Gaelic-Irish surname. As ''Ó Flaithbertaigh'' it belongs to the Connacht sept commonly anglicised as O'Flaherty and Flaherty amongst other variations. In Ulster, where the "f" is aspirated becoming ''Ó Laithbheartaigh'', it is anglicised as O'Laverty, O'Lafferty, Laverty, and Lafferty amongst other variations.〔 ==Overview== This Gaelic-Irish surname is written as "Ua Flaithbertach" (nominative) or "Ua Flaithbertaig" (genitive) in Old Irish and Middle Irish texts. In Modern Irish the surname is now generally spelt as Ó Flatharta. The surname is commonly translated as "bright ruler" or more correctly "bright prince", flaith originally meaning prince in Irish. "O" or Ó comes from Ua, designating "grandson" or "descendant" of a (major) clan member. The prefix is often anglicised to O', using an apostrophe instead of the Irish ''síneadh fada'': "'". Maigh Seóla was the earliest O'Flaherty domain, to the east of Lough Corrib in the kingdom of Connacht, the western most province of the Island of Ireland (Irish: Éire). The Ó Flaithbertaighs are a branch of the ''Muintir Murchada'' dynasty, named after Murchadh mac Maenach (died 891), King of the Uí Briúin Seóla. Murchadh is one of the earliest attested kings of his region. The leading family of this dynasty would take the surname Ó Flaithbheartaigh (O'Flaherty) from the 11th century onwards. In Ulster, the ''F'' is aspirated causing the name to be Anglicised as Laverty etc. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ó Flaithbertaigh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
