Carty settlements can be found across Ireland sometimes in locations that were easy to defend such as Sligo's Coney Island which hosts the remains of a small Carty settlement (Carty's Town & Carty's beach). Carty is a common name today in the Irish counties of: Wexford, Cork, Sligo, Galway and Roscommon. It is common in Longford under the spelling of Carthy until the last thirty years.

Carty is recorded amongst the Irish travelling (tinker) community. There may also be an English version of the name Carty which could be derived from the English name Cartwright.
