'''Hurley''' is a surname of Irish and English origin, with the Irish version of the name being far more common. The English version of the name is a habitational name from places of the same name in [[Hurley, Berkshire|Berkshire]] and [[Hurley, Warwickshire|Warwickshire]]; the name being derived from Old English hyrne ‘corner’, ‘bend’ + leah ‘wood’, ‘clearing'.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ancestry.com/name-origin?surname=Hurley|title=Hurley Name Meaning & History}}</ref>

==People with the surname==
In Ireland, the surname Hurley has become the English version of at least three distinct original Irish names: the ''Ó hUirthile'', part of the [[Dál gCais]] tribal group, based in [[County Clare|Clare]] and North [[County Tipperary|Tipperary]]; the ''Ó Muirthile'', from the environs of [[Kilbrittain]] in west [[County Cork|Cork]]; and the ''Ó hIarlatha'', from the district of [[Ballyvourney]], also in Cork, whose name is more usually anglicised "(O')Herlihy". The principal concentrations of Hurleys are today found in counties Tipperary and [[County Limerick|Limerick]], where they spread from the original Dalcassian homeland, and in Cork. An interesting example of the pseudo-translation of surnames is found in Clare, where some whose name was originally Hurley have now adopted the surname "Commane", since the Irish for the hurley-stick used in the sport of hurling is ''[[hurley (stick)|camán]]'' while the name "Commane" does not originate from that source.

The exact meaning of the name Hurley is uncertain, due to it being a conglomerate of various Irish names. The "O'Muirthile" root in particular seems to roughly translate to "of the sea tides". But while Murphy is the most common surname in all of Ireland, Hurley is found almost exclusively in Munster. It is one of the more common names in County Cork, with something of a presence in [[County Kerry|Kerry]] and Limerick as well, but is rare in the rest of the island. Whether or not it is a regional variant of "Murphy" in Southwestern Ireland is unknown.
