Lastname MacAmhlaidh is an adaptation of Cawley. See Calley - The Calleys of Wilts deduce from Norfolk. I find no locality so denominated, and the family may possibly spring from the Scottish M'Caulays.

A modification of Cawley. One who came from Caughley, i.e., jackdaw wood meadow, in Shropshire.

MacAmhlaidh is variation of McCauley. The son of Amlaib, a Scotch form of Olaf meaning "ancestor's reic"; the son of Amhalghaidh, an ancient Irish personal name.

Lastname MacAmhlaidh is derivation of Comley. Doubtless local, rather than personal.
