The Boyle name is to be found all over county Donegal. The name roughly translates into "Having profitable pledges". The O'Boyles were scattered across Donegal after the Ulster Plantation. The name is now found in Dublin, Scotland, America and Australia. The other forms of the Boyle name are Boyd, Bale and Boole.
