I know of no connection with the name Martin, and clan(n) name are long obsolete as people names in Ireland.<p>Tuohey is one of the anglicised forms of the Irish Gaelic surname Ó Tuathaigh, otherwise anglicised O Twohy, O Towie, Twohy, Twoohy, Tuohy, Touhy, Toohy, Tuhy, Tooey and Towey. The name means 'descendant of Tuathach' (rustic; also a lord). It was the name of a branch of the Clann Ui Maine who were originally seated at Aughrim, in Co. Galway. At the end of the 16th century, the name was not uncommon in many parts of Munster, especially in Co. Cork, and in Offaly and Donegal.
