Tully is a gender-neutral name of Irish and Roman origin. With the meaning “quiet” or “peaceful,” we know that you will love being reminded of the peace you get from baby’s calm disposition. Deriving from the Irish Ó Taithligh, meaning “descendant of Taithleach,” this name is not only used as a last name but makes for a lovely first name, too. Another Irish connection is Ó Maoltuile, translating to “descendant of Maoltuile,” which takes its meaning from the phrase “devoted to the will of God.” In Ancient Rome, Tully was inspired by Tullius, an Etruscan title that signifies “downpour” or “heavy rain.” It was once borne by Roman statesman, scholar, and author Marcus Tullius Cicero, known more popularly as Cicero. Conjuring images of rainfall on cozy winter days snuggled up with baby, Tully is sure to be a wonderful choice for your little one.
