[[Image:Brady.gif|thumb|The Brady [[Coat of Arms]].]]
The name '''Brady''' in [[Ireland]] is derived from the [[Irish language|Irish]] name ''Mac Bradaigh'' meaning 'spirited'. So the anglicised form should be MacBrady, the prefix Mac, however, has seldom if ever been used in modern times; the modern use of the prefix O instead of Mac with this name is erroneous. This [[Sept (social)|Sept]] was based in [[County Cavan]].

The original [[Irish Gaelic|Irish]] name for Brady was MacBrádaigh and they were a powerful [[Sept (social)|sept]] located in [[Bréifne]], specifically [[East Breifne]], their chief holding sway over a territory lying a few miles east of [[Cavan|Cavan town]]. The first recorded use of the name Brádaigh occurs in the Annals of the Four Masters in the year 1256.<ref name="Macbrádaigh">Macbrádaigh, Seán. The Brady's of Cavan in History and Genealogy. Dublin: Genealogical Society of Ireland, 2002. 1-30.</ref> Prior to the first recorded use of the name, the Bradys were part of a larger tribal group consisting of both O'Reillys and Bradys, known as the Muintir Maelmordha. The first recorded use of the name Brádaigh is found in the [[Annals of the Four Masters]] in reference to the death of "Tighearán Mac Brádaigh."<ref name="Macbrádaigh"/> Tighearán Mac Brádaigh was killed fighting alongside other members of the Muintir Maelmordha in a battle against the neighboring O'Rourkes. While awaiting the assistance of Burkes from Connaght, members of the Muintear Maolmhorda, including Tighearán Mac Brádaigh, were intercepted by the O'Rourkes and slain. In the Annals of the Four Masters Tighearán Mac Brádaigh is recorded as a principal noble of the Muintir Maelmordha.<ref name="Macbrádaigh"/> In Ireland it was common for a persons surname to originate from an ancestors forename, with the prefix "Mac" meaning son or grandson of. With regard to the Brady surname, the name Brádaigh is in reference to Brádaigh Mac Niall, who appears to be the great grandfather of Tighearán Mac Brádaigh. The Brady genealogy continues back from Brádaigh and can be traced to the [[High Kings of Ireland]] through [[Brion (Irish)|Brion]], making the Bradys members of the [[Uí Briúin]] kin group.

== Surname ==
The Bradys have always been prominently associated with [[County Cavan]]; and it is in County Cavan and adjacent areas the Bradys are mostly found today. They are indeed very numerous in Ireland with an estimated population of nearly 10,000 persons so called. Brady is among the sixty most common names in Ireland, among the forty most common in [[Ulster]], among the twenty most common in [[Monaghan]] and ranks third in County Cavan, the homeland of the sept. The 1890 [[census]] figures show the name in significant numbers in [[County Dublin]], [[County Antrim]], [[County Meath]] and [[County Longford]].

===A===
A number of families of Brady are also to be found in the district around the village of [[Tuamgraney]], [[County Clare]]. These are in fact not truly Bradys at all but O'Gradys, of the same family as O'Grady of Kilballyowen, [[County Limerick]]: from the time of [[Henry VIII of England|Henry VIII]] onwards these O'Gradys identified themselves with the [[England|English]] cause: for that reason, perhaps, they adopted the form Brady instead of Grady. The first [[Protestant]] [[Bishop of Meath and Kildare]], for example, was [[Hugh Brady]], a Clareman, son of [[Donough O'Grady]]. The Limerick branch, on the other hand, having been Brady for a generation or two, reverted to the correct form O'Grady.
