}}Murphy ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|m|ɜr|f|i}}) is an Irish surname. Origins and variants The surname is a variant of two Irish surnames: "Ó Murchadha"/"Ó Murchadh" (descendant of "Murchadh"), and "Mac Murchaidh"/"Mac Murchadh" (son of "Murchadh")[1] derived from the Irish personal name "Murchadh", which meant sea-warrior or sea-battler.[2] (Muir meaning sea and cath meaning battle).[3] It is said of Murrough (Murchadh) as he entered the thick of the fight and prepared to assail the foreign invaders, the Danes, when they had repulsed the Dal-Cais, that 'he was seized with a boiling terrible anger, an excessive elevation and greatness of spirit and mind. A bird of valour and championship rose in him, and fluttered over his head and on his breath.[4] In modern Irish, "Ó Murchú", rather than "Ó Murchadha", is used. "Murphy" is the most common surname in Ireland, the fourteenth most common surname in Northern Ireland, and the fifty-eighth most common surname in the United States.[5] The last name "Murphy" is also what Irish travellers called themselves when people asked for names.{{Citation needed|date=March 2018}} People with the surname- Anthony Murphy (cricketer) (born 1962), English cricketer
