From Scottish Gaelic Mac an tSaoir meaning "son of the carpenter".
Ó RAITHILEIO Rathyly, O Rahillie, O'Rahilly, Rahilly, (O'Reilly, Reilly); 'descendant of *Raithile'; the name of a family of Cinel Eoghain in Ulster, descended, according to MacFirbis, from Echean, son of Eoghan, son of Niall of the Nine Hostages; but for several centuries it has been almost peculiar to Munster, where it is found chiefly in Cork, Kerry and Limerick. To this family belonged the greatest of our modern Irish poets, Egan O'Rahilly, whose poems have been published by the Irish Texts Society.

I have been interested in the comments about Fall River as it is my home town. I moved away many years ago but still go back each summer. Basically the Irish came to Fall River to work in the textile mills. The city, nicknamed "Spindle City" was one of the lagest cotton mill centers in the US. A few Irish may have helped to build the mills but the majority came to work in the mills.Many of these Irish came from Beara and the names Sullivan, Lowney and Harrington abound in the Catholic cemeteries of the city. Some of my Sullivans came about 1870 after spening few year in Wareham, near Cape Cod before moving to Fall River. I also had Hanley ancestors who camr about 1870(John and Mary Hanley).I also had Sullivans who came in 1880 from Glenera Townland on the Beara peninsula.--my grandfather, James Sullivan and his parents, Patrick Sullivan and Ellen Connolly.I can provide more info if any of this sounds familiar to anyone.Hope this helps someone.

After further searching, I have found the marriage of Patrick Rahilly & Abbey Hanley. They were married in Cahermore Church [which was the Church for the Kilnamanagh Parish (or later called Allihies Parish after the new, second Church was built circa 1845)]. Patrick & Abbey (who was from the townland of Clogheen ---- also in what is now known as Allihies Parish) were married in Cahermore Church by Very Rev. Fr. James Devine, Parish Priest, on March 3rd 1835. Witnesses were Mort Shea & Timothy Hanley. Patrick & Abbey had one son, John (in Clogheen) before, I presume, heading for the States. John was Baptised on Dec. 14th 1835. He was Baptised in Cahermore Church by Very Rev. Fr. James Devine P.P. Godparents were Batt Shea & Mary Trokery (an O'Sullivan Branch-Name).
