I looked up the website, www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/6587/Irname.html for the names and found it very helpful.  Thanks for another suggestion.  It all helps. Thanks again.

When in Ireland recently I stayed in Ashmore House in Cashel where the owners (Ryans) had a very detailed history of their ancestry - The Rody Ryans. If you contact them they would be able to give you details of the compiler.

Can anyone give me any information on the first name, "Roady".  I presume it's a nickname.


thanks.

When Roady (or usually Rody) is a suffix it usually is associated with the Ryan family  - the Ryan Rody's. In my Ryan Rody line I was told by my grandfather (born 1890s) that it is derived from their red hair ( ruadh in Irish.) If it is for e.g. Roddy Ryan, it is most likely that it is from Rory,  (ruaidhri in Irish) which name is anglicized as Roger.
