McEvoy

McEvoy (; or or alternatively ) is an Irish surname. It is closely related to the name McAvoy and with the placename Clandeboye, an anglicised version of Clann Fhiodhbhuidge. The name translates as either "son of the fair-haired lad" or "son of the woodsman", depending on the original Gaelic version referred to. According to historian C.
