Tully is a surname of Irish origin. The surname itself and its variants include; Tally, MacTully, Tilly and Flood, all of which can derive from several different unrelated Irish families such as; Ó Maoltuile, Taithligh, Mac Maoltuile, Ó Taithligh, and Mac an Tuile. Some MacTullys changed their name to Flood as "tuile" is Irish for flood.[1][2]

Tully is also an anglicised form of the Irish word tulach or tulaigh meaning a hill or mound, and is used in various Irish place names.[3]

Tully it is true, is found in Galway, the county nearest to Clare, but there is always an abbreviated form of MacAtilla (see Irish Families, pp 278-279)"
