I was wondering if there was a Gaelic way of spelling and pronouncing my last name, Mc Coy? |

According to one source Mac Coy is the anglisized form of " Mac Aodha " which means " Son of Hugh ". My pronunciation of it would be " Mock Ay ", with " ay " pronounced as in way. Hope this helps. |

Just remembered that the feminine form of Mac Aodha would be " Nic Aodha ", pronounced " Nick Ay ". If Mac Coy is a woman's married name, then it should be "" Mhic Aodha ", pronounced " Vick Ay ". I am not absaolutely certain but I think all of the above is accurate. |
