I found this for you, the "Daly" motto,
Daly Deo et regi fidelis Faithful to God and the king
it came from the site posted below.

Hope this helps.
Hey, just looking for the family motto and family crest for the 'DALY' name? (Family of Irish descent)
http://www.irishgen.com/surnames/details...
above is a link that explains where your surname originated (24th most popular surname in Ireland!! I would never have guessed that). Crest is on the page too.
Reply:There is absolute no such thing as a family crest. A crest is part of a coat of arms. See the links below, one from the British College of Arms (they issue coats of arms), one from the most prestigious genealogical organization in the U.S., The National Genealogical Society, and one regarding Irish coats of arms.
http://www.college-of-arms.gov.uk/Faq.ht...
http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/comconsumerp...
http://www.heraldry.ws/info/article10.ht...
Coats of arms were and are granted to individuals and they are passed down through the direct male line of descent. Now I understand those that are granted to men that are knighted or to Americans who have applied to the College of Arms and have been granted one are not hereditary.
Actually, there might be, for instance, 15 different men by the name of Daly that were each granted their own coat of arms, all different. However, the peddlers that sell them on the internet, at airports, at shopping malls, in magazines and solicit by direct mail will not have all 15, no way. They don't need to in order to sell to gullible people. Now if the same surname is found in more than one country, they will have one for each country, if there is one, but there might have been 5 in each country with a particular surname that were granted one.
The coats of arms they have are usually valid but they belong to specific individuals not everyone with that surname. The family history and motto that goes with them are usually valid, but not for everyone with that surname.
If this is a school assignment, please print off the links I have furnished you and give them to your teacher. Also, feel free to give him/her a copy of what I am furnishing you.
Anytime you go into someone's home and see one of those dinky little walnut plaques on their den wall or over their fireplace, what they are displaying is a coat of arms that was granted to someone with their surname and probably isn't even related.
Courtesy means that people who understand genealogy and heraldry will not laugh at someone in their own home.
You can tell everyone that Daly is about the only Irishman mentioned in the Bible, "It says Jesus taught Daily in the temple."
Reply:I'm a Daly too! The crest I have says, "Dea FIdelis Et Regi" Got it while in Ireland, you might be able to find a picture here http://www.houseofnames.com/xq/asp.fc/qx...
Reply:Daly is a name that has the same description in all of my texts in every country. Daly is of ancient Celtic origin according to Burke's records.
Blazon: Per fesse argent and or a lion ramppant per fess sable and gules, in chief two dexter hands couped of the last.
Crest: In front of an oak tree ppr., fructed or, a greyhound courant sable, collared gold. [sic] (it says gold instead of "or").
Motto: Deo Fidelis et Regi; Latin for - Faithful to God and King
Supporters: Lions rampant (when mentioned).
In some books the crest alone (black greyhound in front of an oak tree) is mentioned for Daly. An image of the crest with the shield can be viewed here: http://www.rushings.info/images/daly_1.j...

Is Owen (my name) a Welsh, Irish or English name?
i'm confused - i've heard of so many contradictorary views.
Is Owen (my name) a Welsh, Irish or English name?
It's welsh.
Don't know if you watched x-factor , but there was an irish boy there who's name was pronounced like "owen" but was spelt eoghan.
So yea , welsh. Welsh speaking people will pronounce it "oh - when" where as english people will pronounce it "oh - win".
Reply:"The name Owen is of Welsh/Irish origin. From the Welsh Eugein or Ougein, it's a variant of the Greek Eugenius (Eugene), which means "well born." The spelling Owen is a modernization of Owain.
An additional interpretation is that Owen is an Anglicization of Eoghann, a traditional Gaelic name meaning "born of yew." In Irish, the same name was spelled Eoghan.
The names Eugene and Owen thus share a history. Medieval texts often Latinize the word as Eugenius, and by 1178, the form Eugene appeared in Scotland.
Owain Glendower (c. 1359 - c. 1416) fought for Welsh independence from England, but his efforts did not succeed in the end. He was the last native-born Prince of Wales. His legacy remained in popular culture: Shakespeare fictionalized him in his play Henry IV, and a 19th century revival of Welsh nationalism portrayed him as a hero. "
from http://wiki.name.com/en/Owen
Personal Note: I am of Welsh heritage and many many of my uncles, cousins etc have Owen as both first and last names! That makes it very difficult to do genealogy! Wales is loaded with Owen Owen, especially in the Isle of Anglesey area.
Reply:Welsh. I think anyway.

What could i name my three irish staffordshire pups,these sisters are all from the same litter,?
My next door neighbor had some cats, named the first one "Chocolate" their second one "Chip", then said if they got a third they'd name it "Cookie"! I thought that was a pretty cool set-up, it would work with your pups, wouldn't it?
Reply:since they are three sisters and already their lives have been charmed then you should name them phoebe , paige and piper the names of the three sisters from the tv show charmed.....it makes sense to me and having had irish staff's and currently having 2 of them ( shakira and samson) before the style of name suits the breed they are not the type of dog that can have ordinary regular doggie type names

Irish boy name that is special?
Hey everyone! *waves*
I was wanting to name our baby (if it is a boy) an Irish name because that is my husbands heritage and it would mean a lot to keep the tradition sort of going.
We are going to name the girl Jacie Alivia (my husbands name and mine combined...Jared and Tracy)
I want to have a name that is special and has meaning for our boy if we have one. I don't want him to be left out.
*this is our first baby
Irish boy name that is special?
I love love love Jacie! So adorable. Irish names are lovely, and here are my favorite Irish boy names that have a meaning that would definitely be special for your first son: (these names are both handsome %26amp; have great and special meanings!)
Shea: Irish, "beautiful hawk"
Reagan: Irish, "little king"
Kearney: Irish, "victorious champion"

Artan: Irish, "little bear"
Kiernan: Irish, "son of a lord"
Callum: Irish, "peaceful dove"
Declan: Irish, "full of goodness"
Carlin: Irish, "little champion"
Your name, Tracy, if referring to its Irish/Gaelic tradition, means "war-like". Here are Irish boys names that are related to that meaning:
Liam: Irish, "strong willed warrior"
Findlay: Irish, "fair warrior" *nickname: Finn
Sloan: Irish, "bravest warrior"
Caine: Irish, "son of the fighter"
Your husbands name is Jared, which in Hebrew means descendant. Here are some Irish names that also mean descendant:

Hogan: Irish, "descendant of the wild warrior"

Should Obama spell his name O'Bama to pick up the Irish vote?
Just wondering.
Should Obama spell his name O'Bama to pick up the Irish vote?
No ,he should use Mac Bama, The Scottish vote is more numerous.
Reply:I'm a little Irish and I will feel disgraced if he did that,
Irish people are not gonna fall for some cheap ploy like that.
Reply:that was definetly my first good laugh of the day.
Reply:I guess that would be ok but a little obbsesive...
Reply:Not a smart idea. Sorry.
Reply:why would he do that? its not like there are as many irish in america as the hispanics and african americans... if he's going to do o'bama, he might as well change his name to try and fit every other ethnic group in america.. why just limit it to the irish?
Reply:no change the "b" to an "s" and make the change official at ground zero in front of an audience of 911 survivors.

But I would just stick with Hillary 2008. Obama 2016

McGee Name Meaning and History
Irish and Scottish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Aodha 鈥榮on of Aodh鈥?(see McCoy).
hope this helps.
Reply:It's originally a Gaelic name. Mac Aoidh means son of Aodh, there were both Irish and Scottish clans with that name, and there have been a lot of different anglicisations of it, such as McCoy, Keyes, Kee, Magee, Mackey, McGee, McKee, Hughes, MacHugh etc., in both countries.
There are now both Irish and Scottish McGees so you would have to know more detail about your ancestry to say which you come from - but it's definitely either Irish or Highland Scottish.
Kendra, your genes don't make you irish. Knowing things like that McGee/Magee is an Irish surname is waht every real Irish person is able to do.
Reply:scottish more than likely, i know a few scots with that surname but no irish people
Reply:I think it's scottish. I dunno.
Reply:Ancestry.com lists the following places of origin for McGee for the Port Authority of New York:
Ireland 904
England 169
Great Britain 157
Scotland 118
Irish Free State 9
Ireland: Great Britain 7
The McGee Surname DNA Project shows a United Kingdom census survey map that notes that in 1881 more McGees were living in Lanarkshire, Scotland, than any other location.
McGee is apparently a surname used by the Scots and Scots-Irish (or Ulster-Scots), who, of course, emigrated from Scotland to Northern Ireland, as well as by the Irish. All of which doesn't narrow down your search one bit. In other words, you'll have to directly trace your own family tree to find out exactly where your McGees originated.
