GETTY Family History

Recorded in a wide range of spellings, some of which are quite extraordinary, and seem to have little in common with each other. These include: Gatty, Gettie, Getty, Goady, Gowdy, Guddiah, Gudarah, and Gudahy, and however spelt, this is in origin a Northern Irish surname, but of Scottish origins. It derives from the pre 10th century Gaelic personal name Mag Eitigh, which in Scotland is the famous surname Dalgetty, the family of Dalgetty or Dalgety originating from areas known as the lands of Dalgety or Dalgaty in either Fife or Aberdeen.
