O'prey Family History & Genealogy
O'prey Last Name History & Origin
AddSummary
The name O'Prey has a long history in the Co Down area in Ireland believed to go back up to 3000 years. It is believed to be Pictish in origin even though the Picts are most associated with Scotland. It is believed to derive from the Pictish word Predhae, the meaning of which was lost as the Picts left very little records.
The old Welsh word for Picts however is Prydyn, possibly derived from Proto-Celtic or old Irish words for Picts.
Notably the related word Prydain in Welsh has colloquial spoken variants in Wales very similar to Predhae, so it would seem possible that they have the same root, although I cannot confirm this.
