Foley Genealogy & History
Foley is an Irish name. It comes from the Gaelic "O'Foghladha". "O" means "grandson" or "male descendent of" and "Foghladha" means "pirate" or "plunderer". The first recorded member of Foley family history is Maoliosa O'Foley, the Archbishop of Cashel, in 1131; Foleys also held the title "Lord of the Decies" in Waterford, Ireland since ancient times. The Foley motto is "Ut prosim", meaning "That I may be of use". Foley genealogy includes Frank Foley, a member of the British Secret Service during WWII who bent the rules and risked arrest and execution to give passports to thousands of German Jews, saving them from the Nazis; for this, he is sometimes known as the "British Schindler".
