The Hoey family has its origins in Ireland, with the surname derived from the Gaelic "Ó hEochaidh," meaning "descendant of Eochaidh," a name associated with horsemen or warriors. The Hoeys were historically linked to the eastern counties of Ireland, particularly County Louth and County Meath. Known for their involvement in agriculture and local governance, the family played an important role in the social and economic fabric of their communities. During the 19th century, particularly during the Great Famine, many members of the Hoey family emigrated to the United States, Canada, and Australia in search of better opportunities. Today, the Hoey name represents a proud legacy of resilience, adaptability, and strong Irish heritage, with descendants continuing to celebrate their family history worldwide.
