Foley is a surname, originating in Ireland in the south east Munster region. The name is derived from the original modern Irish Ó Foghlú and older Irish Ó Foghladha, with the original meaning of plunderers. The Lord of the Decies (the Waterford area of Munster) was a title attributed to some early Foleys. The name Foley has a loose meaning in Anglo-Saxon as "Pirate" or "Marauder".
