The Tribes of Galway were 14 merchant families who dominated the political, commercial and social life of the city of Galway in western Ireland between the mid-13th and late 19th centuries. They were the families of Athy, Blake, Bodkin, Browne, Darcy, Deane, Font, French, Joyce, Kirwan, Lynch, Martyn, Morris and Skerritt. Of the 14 families, 12 were of Anglo Norman origin, while two — the Darcy and Kirwan families — were Normanised Irish Gaels.
Fitzpatrick is an Irish surname that most commonly arose as an anglicised version of the Irish patronymic surname Mac Giolla Phádraig In some cases, it may also have independently arisen by a similar anglicization of a likely-distinct Irish patronymic, Ó Maol Phádraig, or in rare cases as a genuine Anglo-Irish patronymic incorporating the Norman French fiz and the male name Patrick.
The name Joyce is a given name used for females and rarely used for males. As a family name in the Middle Ages, it derived from the Old French masculine name Josse, which derived from the Latin name Iudocus, the Latinized form of the Breton name Judoc meaning "lord". The name became rare after the 14th century, but was later revived as a female given name, which derived from the Middle English joise meaning "rejoice".
McGrath or MacGrath derives from the Irish surname Mac Craith and is occasionally noted with a space: e.g. Mark Mc Grath. In Ireland, it is pronounced "Ma Grah". In Australia and New Zealand it is pronounced MuhGrah.
