Doherty is an Irish surname and an Irish clan. Dohertys were a prominent Sept in the Irish county of Donegal. They were known for fighting against the Norman invasion of 1170. Following the Flight of the Earls in 1607, the chief of the Dohertys, Sir Cahir O'Doherty, rose up in the following year against English domination in Ireland and the plantation of Protestant settlers in what is known as O'Doherty's Rebellion. The Doherty coat of arms motto is, "Ar nDutcas" or "Our Heritage."

The original Gaelic spelling of Doherty was O Dochartaigh, or Ó Dubhartaigh in Munster. Today variant spellings of the Irish surname Doherty include Dockeray, Dockerty, Dockharty, Dogharty, Dougherty, Doherety, Dohertey, Docherty, Docharty and many more.
