Eleach

Eleach is a surname of Gaelic origin, believed to derive from the Irish personal name Eileach or Aileach. These names are thought to have connections to words meaning "rocky" or "stony." The surname is found predominantly in Ireland, particularly in the northern regions. Historically, families bearing the Eleach name have been associated with various parts of Ulster. As with many Irish surnames, migration has led to its presence in other countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia. The exact etymology and early history are subject to scholarly interpretation, but the rocky or stony meaning is a widely accepted interpretation of its roots. Notable individuals with the Eleach surname are not extensively documented in historical records, suggesting it may have been a less prominent lineage, or that records are scarce. However, it continues to be a recognized surname within Irish communities globally.
