Greetings,

Here's the information we found on "Hilley," which you wanted to use as an Irish name.

"Hilley" is the English form of the rare Irish name "O/ hIthcheallaigh." This name is a variant of the more common name "ó Fithcheallaigh" (which has been Anglicized as "Fihelly.") "O/ hIthcheallaigh" is a lateperiod name, and would be appropriate for the 16th century.

Arval Benicoeur and Talan Gwynek contributed to this letter.

In service,
