Supporting evidence: McCoy: documented Irish surname background
Checked against cited source
Surname background: the dúchas.ie Irish Surname Index places Mc Coy in a group that includes Mac Aodha and Mac Aoidh. Woulfe explains Mac Aodha as son of Aodh, a personal name commonly anglicised Hugh, and records several distinct families. This supports a documented Irish surname route, not a universal literal meaning of the baby name or proof of a particular family ancestry.
