The surname Hegarty, also spelled Hagerty or O'Hagerty, has its roots in Irish history and is an anglicized version of the Gaelic name "Ó hÉigeartaigh." This Gaelic surname originates from the word "éigeartach," which means 'unjust' or 'lawless,' although it is unlikely that this reflects the character of the bearers of the name. It is more probable that this name was originally a byname for a valiant warrior or a champion of justice.

Traditionally, Irish surnames are taken from the heads of tribes or from some illustrious warrior, and it is likely that this name, too, is derived from a notable ancestor. The O'Hegartys were originally a part of the Cenél nEógain, which is a branch of the Northern Uí Néill, a powerful group of families descended from Niall of the Nine Hostages, a legendary 5th-century Irish king.

The O'Hegartys were chiefly located in County Donegal in the northwest of Ireland, with their territory being known as Fanaid on the peninsula in the north of the county. Over time, the name spread to other areas of Ireland, with significant populations in counties Cork and Kerry in the south. Due to the forced migrations and displacements, such as during the English colonization of Ireland and the subsequent Great Famine in the 19th century, the Hegarty name, along with many others of Irish origin, can now be found throughout the world.
