Murphie Family History

Brave and hospitable

Design your own Murphie Family Crest

Murphy means ’sea warrior’ in Irish. There are several septs in counties Tyrone, Sligo and Wexford, where they were kings of Leinster. Dermot MacMurrough, the most famous Murphy, invited the Normans to Ireland. His brother, Murrough, is the eponymous ancestor of all the Wexford Murphys. Some of the Wexford sept moved to Cork, where Daibhi O Murchu, the blind harper, played for the pirate queen Grace O Malley. There are more Murphys in America than their are in Ireland.
