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'', based around [[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 camán while the name Commane does not originating from that source.
