The Hayes family were somewhat unusual in Ireland in naming themselves after a mythical god as most families were named after the leader or chief of their clan. In Ireland, Hayes originated as a Gaelic polygenetic surname "O hAodha", meaning descendant of Aodh (meaning "fire"), or of Aed, an Irish mythological god. Septs in most counties anglicised "O hAodha" to "Hayes". In County Cork, it became O'Hea. In Ulster it became Hughes. Hayes is noted on a public record in County Wexford as early as 1182.
In County Cork, under the Munster providence, Hayes falls under the banner of the McNamara clan in the Dalcassian Sept. Other Irish Hayes names have also been associated with Clan Cian, the ruling O'Carroll clan of southern Ireland.
Variations of spellings include: Hayes, Hese, Hesa, Haes, Heyes, Hease, Heyse, Heise, Haze. OHea, Hea, Hay, O'Hea ….
