GALLOWAY Family History
Recorded as Gallaway, Galloway, and in the registers of the city of London as Galawaie, Galaway, Gillaway, Gilloway, and even Golaway, this surname is Scottish. It is of locational origins from the county of Galloway in the South West of the country, adjoining the Solway Firth. The name derives from the pre 7th century Old Gaelic word "gall" meaning a stranger or foreigner, and the Old English word 'weg' which describes on land a road, but at sea, a navigable area as in the Solway Firth. Confusingly some seas areas are also referred to a 'roads'. The inhabitants of the area who were probably of English descent, were apparently allied to the invading Norsemen of the period, rather than with their fellow Scots in the Midlands and North of Scotland...Select Audience
