Gormley is an Irish surname. It is derived from the Gaelic Ó Goirmleadhaigh meaning 'descendant of Gormghal'. The main sept of the clan originated in Tyrconnell and then spread into Tyrone.

The common ancestor and progenitor of these Gormleys was Moain son of Muireadach, son of Eoghan, son of Niall of the Nine Hostages.

Séamas Dall Mac Cuarta was an Irish poet. He was the originator of a seventeenth and eighteenth century Irish language school of poets, centred on the Oirialla region of the south-east of the province of Ulster and north of Leinster. Mac Cuarta's work emerged from a region in which there was no previous strong poetic tradition, unlike in north-western Ulster, and inspired a number of followers such as Peadar Ó Doirnín and Art Mac Cumhaigh: the emergence of the work of Mac Cuarta and his followers may have been a conscious response to local pressures of anglicisation, and the collapse of the traditional Gaelic social order.

McGirr, recorded as McGerr, McGirr, McGeer, and likely others, is an early Scottish and Irish surname which is common in Ulster. It derives from the pre-10th century Gaelic 'Mac an gHeairr' which is believed to translate as 'the son of the short man'. It is certain that almost all Gaelic surnames, whether Scottish or Irish, and that are not locational, derive from a nickname for the first nameholder or chief. Some of these original names were robust at best and often obscene for modern tastes, so, therefore, the meaning has been largely toned down over the years. That is not the case here, and referred to the physical size of the chief, at a time when generally people were small in stature in any case. Like many nicknames, the reverse applied, and the chief was actually tall.
