Ó Méalóid is an Irish language surname, the English language equivalent of which is Mellett.[1]
The name is rare in Ireland. It is found in Connemara in County Galway, where the name originated, County Mayo and around Ráth Cairn, a small Gaeltacht (Irish speaking) area in County Meath, where it is mainly concentrated now (a number of families with the name Ó Méalóid moved from Camus, County Galway to Ráth Cairn as part of a Gaeltacht relocation project carried out in Ireland in the early 1930s).
However, the name can now be found in small numbers elsewhere in Ireland, particularly Dublin.
