Flood, Floyd, Floode, Floyde, Tully, MacTully,Talley, Tally
The Irish surname Flood was originally the Gaelic MacTuile, Ó Maoltuile, or Mac Maoltuile. "tuile" means "flood," and the names Tully and Flood were at one time interchangeable in Ireland. However, some of the Gaelic names that have become "flood" may have been mistranslations,
and that contained the Gaelic "toile," meaning "toil," or "will."
The surname Flood was first found in Connacht, where they could be found since ancient times, and were hereditary physicians to the O'Connors of Galway.
