McCoy is a common surname of Scottish origin in the lands of Kintyre and then Irish (Gallowglass) origin. It is an Anglicisation of its Irish Gaelic form Mac Aodha, meaning "son of Aodh" (an old word for "Fire", a Celtic deity). It is particularly found in Ulster (Counties Antrim, Armagh and Monaghan) where many settled around the 13th century, having been Gallowglasses, and also in counties Limerick and Cork. Aoidh and Mac Aoigh were sometimes Anglicised as Hugh and McHugh. ==Individuals== *Al McCoy (announcer), sports broadcaster *Al McCoy (boxer), (1894–1966), middleweight champion boxer *Alfred McCoy (American football) (1899–1990), American college sports coach *Alfred W.
