The surname Sotheby has its origins in Ireland. It is derived from the Gaelic surname "Ó Súilleabháin," which means "descendant of Súilleabhán." This Gaelic name is composed of the elements "súil," meaning "eye," and "béin," meaning "fair." The surname Sotheby is therefore associated with someone who had fair eyes.

The Sotheby family can trace its roots back to County Cork in southwest Ireland. They were part of the ancient Clan O'Sullivan and were prominent landowners in the region. Over time, the name underwent various alterations and Anglicizations, eventually settling on Sotheby.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, many Irish families, including the Sothebys, faced significant challenges due to political and economic instability in Ireland. This led to waves of emigration, with many Irish people seeking better opportunities abroad.

Some members of the Sotheby family emigrated to England and other parts of the world, contributing to the spread of their surname beyond Ireland. Today, Sotheby is a relatively uncommon name of Irish origin, but it can still be found among descendants of Irish immigrants in various countries.

The Sotheby name has also gained recognition through the renowned British auction house, Sotheby's, which was founded by Samuel Baker in 1744. The company's name was later changed to Sotheby and introduced a connection between the surname and the world of art and collectibles.
