How do you write the Gaelic form of name Mac Toirdhealbhaigh or Turley?

The Gaelic form of the surname Mac Toirdhealbhaigh is already given: Mac Toirdhealbhaigh. That's the standard spelling in modern Irish.

The anglicised form "Turley" is a simpler version and doesn't directly reflect all the nuances of the original Gaelic. While Mac Toirdhealbhaigh is perfectly acceptable and accurate, you might also see variations in spelling depending on the dialect and the time period. There aren't significantly different *correct* Gaelic forms, however.
