Best Answer

The original Gaelic form of Duffy was O Dubhthaigh, meaning descendant or grandson of Dubhthach. Dubhthach was a given name meaning "black".

First found in the western province of Connacht, where they'd held a family seat from very ancient times, they are descended from the great Kings of Ireland referred to as the "Three Collas". "The Duffy, Lord of Fermanagh" was from Clan Colla.
