 CHAPTER I. 
 
 INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. 
 
 The investigation into the personal names of the people of any country is a subject surrounded 
 with very great interest. By means of family nomenclature much light can be thrown on the 
 early employments and customs of a people, as well as the sources from which they have spnmg. 
 In fact, the history of our country lies enshrined in its Surnames ; and on our shop fronts and 
 in our graveyards may be found side by side the names of the descendants of the Milesian Prince^ of 
 the Scandinavian Viking, and of the Norman Knight. 
 
 So far back as 1851 the Census Commissioners for that year attempted to arrange the Sumam&«( of 
 the country in such a way as to show their distribution. The effort, however, proved unsuccessful, owing 
 to the diflBculties met with, and when the names were partially extracted the task was abandoned. 
 
 At the termination of the Census of 1881, the late Dr. Lyons, then M.P. for Dublin, pressed the 
 Government to institute an inquiry into names, such as had been attempted in 1851, and his 
 proposal was very favourably entertained, but as th^ work of the Census Department was then 
 about to close, the Commissioners were unable to comply with his request. 
 
 It may be observed that as a preliminary to any successful effort to tabulate the Surnames in the 
 country, some codification of the variations in form and spelling was necessary. With this and other 
 objects in view, from the materials collected during many years in the General Register OflS^e, 
 as well as special reports obtained from local officers in the Registration Service, I prepared in 
 1890 a treatise entitled "Varieties and Synonymes of Surnames and Christian Names in Ireland," 
 which was issued by the Registrar-General for use in connection with searches in his Office, and 
 in those of the Superintendent Registrars and Registrars throughout the country. 
 
 That book set forth the principal orthographical changes in Surnames, exhibiting the varieties in 
 spelling ; the use of prefixes and affixes ; spelling according to usual pronunciation ; older forms of 
 names showing the alterations they have undergone in course of time ; local variations in spelling 
 and form, exhibiting the tendency of names to assume different forms in different localities ; variations 
 in spelling at pleasure ; and changes owing to illiteracy and other causes. 
 
 It further contained examples of the use of entirely different names interchangeably by the same 
 person, a practice which prevails in- some parts of Ireland, many being cases of translation of 
 Irish names into English, or vice versa, or equivalents, modifications, or corruptions of them. A 
 table was also given showing cases of English names and their Irish equivalents met with in the 
 
8 Appendix to the Twenty-ninth Report oj the 
 
 Registration Records. The work also contained an Alphabetical List of Surnames, with their 
 Varieties and Synonjrmes, and a Table showing the respective Poor Law Unions and Districts in 
 which many of the peculiarities had been found. 
 
 The reception which that book met with at the hands of the Press and the Public was very- 
 gratifying, and I determined to attempt, in connection with the Census of 1891, the interesting 
 work of extracting and classifying the Surnames of the population generally on the lines unsuccess- 
 fully followed in 1851. An unexpected occurrence, however, prevented this. The Census Records 
 which previously afforded complete data for the purpose were, in 1891, rendered imperfect in this 
 respect, owing to the insertion of a clause in the Act of Parliament, directing that in the case of 
 Inmates of Public Institutions, initials only should be given in the Enumeration Forms. 
 
 The Surnames of a considerable number of persons were thus omitted from these Records, and 
 the question arose whether with these imperfect data, the work should be abandoned, or whether 
 the general results could not be obtained with sufficient accuracy from othei sources. 
 
 The Indexes of the General Register Office afford a reliable basis on which to found general 
 conclusions regarding Surnames, and though in the Index for any one year all the Surnames in the 
 comitry will not be found, yet if a name be of frequent occurrence it is certain to be represented in 
 the Index, the, number of entries opposite the name indicating its relative frequency with respect to 
 other 8umames. 
 
 The Indexes further afford facilities for distributing the Surnames over^the country, as in the 
 case of each entry the Poor Law Union is given. 
 
 In view of these facts, I decided to take these Indexes as the basis of my inquiries, and I was 
 confirmed in my determination by the opinion of that eminent scholar, the late Right Rev. Dr. 
 Reeves, Lord Bishop of Down, Connor, and Dromore, and President of the Royal Irish Academy, 
 who encouraged me to undertake the task, and promised me his cordial assistance. His lamented 
 death, however, unhappily deprived me of the benefit of his valuable aid and advice. 
 
 I may mention that both in England and Scotland the subject of personal nomenclature has 
 received attention, and statistics relating' thereto, derived from the Indexes of Births, Deaths, and 
 Marriages, have been published by the respective Registrars-General, to which I shall further 
 refer. 
 
 I have divided the consideration of the subject as follows : — 
 
 1st. The principal Surnames'in Ireland compared with those in -other portions of the United 
 Kingdom. 
 
 2nd. The Derivation of Surnames in Ireland. 
 
 . 3rd. Surnames in Ireland Ethnologically considered.

Registrar-General of Marriages, Births, and Deaths in Ireland. 11 
 
 It will be seen from the foregoing Tables that the name "Murphy" stands first in Ireland, in order 
 of numerical strength, representing an estimated number of 62,600 persons (or 13-3 per thousand of 
 the population), and that in both England and Scotland the name " Smith " occupies the first place, 
 representing, it is estimated, in England and Wales (in the year 1853) 253,600 persons (or 13-8 
 per thousand of the population), and in Scotland (in the year 1863) 44,200, or 14-2 per thousand 
 of the population. 
 
 The second place on the Irish List is held by the name " Kelly," representing 55,900 persons (or 
 11-8 per thousand of the population). In the English Tables "Jones " has the second place, repre- 
 senting, it is estimated, 242,100 people (or 13-2 per thousand). It is the most common name in the 
 Principality of Wales, and its prevalence there has given it the high place it occupies on the List 
 for the country generally. The Registrar- General for England states that in some years the 
 Joneses contributed to the registers a larger number of Births than even the Smiths. In Scotland 
 the second place is held by " M'Donald," the estimated population bearing the name being 36,600, 
 or 11 '8 per thousand. 
 
 The third place in Ireland is filled by " Sullivan," the number of persons of which name it is 
 estimated amounts to 43,600 (or 9'2 per thousand). In England " Williams " is the third name in 
 numerical importance, representing 159,900 persons (or 87 per thousand). In Scotland " Brown " 
 ■tands third, reckoning 88,800 (or 10-9 per thousand). 
 
 Several names among the first Fifty on the Irish List appear on the Lists for one or both of the 
 other Divisions of the Kingdom. Thus " Smith " is 5th in Ireland and 1st in England and Scotland ; 
 "Murray" is 18th in Ireland, and 17th in Scotland; "Moore "is 20th in Ireland, and 39th in 
 England; "Wilson" is 26th in Ireland, 11th in England, and 8th in Scotland; "Campbell" is 31st 
 in Ireland, and 7th in Scotland; "Clarke" (or "Clark") is 32nd in Ireland, 9th (taking both 
 spellings) in England, and 18th in Scotland; "Johnston" appears 33rd in Ireland, and 16th in 
 Scotland ; " Hughes " appears 34th in Ireland, and 19th in England ; " Brown " is 37th in Ireland, 6th 
 in England, and 3rd in Scotland ; " Martin " is 38th in Ireland, 31st in England, and 48th in 
 Scotland; "Thompson" or "Thomson" is 42nd in Ireland, 15th in England, and 4th in Scotland; 
 " White " is 50th in Ireland, 22nd in England, and 41st in Scotland. 
 
 It will also be observed that among the second fifty names on the Irish List, several appear in 
 the first fifty of England or Scotland. Thus, — " Stewart " is 58th in Ireland, and 6th in Scotland 
 " Robinson," 73rd in Ireland, and 12th in England ; " Ward " 78th in Ireland, and 30 th in England 
 " Reid " 81st in Ireland, and 13th in Scotland ; " Graham," 82nd in Ireland, and 40th in Scotland 
 " King " 86th in Ireland, and 36th in England ; " Bell " 89th in Ireland, and 47th in Scotland 
 " Scott " 90th in Ireland, and 10th in Scotland ; and " M'Donald " which is 95th in Ireland, is 2nd 
 in Scotland. 
 
 It will be perceived, however, that most of the names in Ireland with the larger numbers are 
 peculiar to this country, representing the names of Irish Clans and Septs, such as the Murphys, 
 Kellys, Sullivans, O'Briens, Byrnes, Ryans, Connors, O'Neills, ReiUys, Doyles, McCarthys, 
 Gallaghers, Dohertys, &;c. 
 
 The Scotch Clans are similarly represented in the List for Scotland, such as the M'Donalds, 
 M'Kenzies, M'Gregors, M'Leods, M'Kays, Campbells, Stewarts, Camerons, &c.

 CHAPTER III. 
 
 DERIVATION OF SURNAMES. 
 
 The consideration of the Derivation of Surnames forms an interesting branch of study, but it 
 would be impossible within the limits of this Report to enter fully into the subject, and all that 
 can be attempted is to give a brief summary of its main sub-divisions as applicable to this 
 Country. 
 
 Surnames in Ireland may be divided with reference to their derivation into six 
 Tiz.: — 
 
 1. Feom Peesonal Names. 
 
 2. From Rank or Occupation. 
 
 3. Fbom the Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral Kingdoms. 
 
 4. From Locality. 
 
 5. From Personal Peculiarities or Attributes. 
 
 6. Other Surnames. 
 
 1. The following Examples may be given of Surnames derived from Personal names : — 
 
 Celtic Names.

 servant (or disciple) of — such as — 
 
 Gilchrist, 
 
 Kilbride, . (GiollaBridghid — the Servant of St. 
 
 Bridget). 
 Gilpatrick, . (GiollaPadraic — the Servant of St, 
 
 Patrick).

 Christ). 
 
 Gildea, . . {GiollaB^— the Servant of God).

 4. Su/mames derived from Locality. — Surnames derived from locality, which in England and 
 Scotland form a large class, are but rarely met with in this country, and in most of these cases 
 considerable doubt exists as to whether the surname has been acquired from the locality.

 6. Other Surnames. — There are many surnames not falling in any of the above classes, such jis 
 those from : — 
 
 Parts of the Body (Celtic Names)— Kinnavy (ctiamA— Irish— a bone) ; McCosh (cos— Irish— a foot) ; 
 McCIave (iawiA— Irish— the hand) ; (English Names)— Beard, Foote, Head, Legge.

 Points of the Compass, as North, South, East, West. 
 Natural Objects, as Field, Flood, Hill, Snow. 
 Other Sov/rces, as Church, Ferry, Hood, Hunt, Kirk. 
 
 It may be interesting to quote here the remarks of the Registrar-General for England and Wales 
 regarding the derivation of Family Names found in those countries. 
 
14 ''Appendix to the Twenty-ninth Report of the 
 
 Major Graham remarked in his 16th Annual Report, already referred to : — " The most striking cir- 
 cumstance presented by the Indexes is the extraordinary number and variety of the surnames of the 
 English people. Derived from almost every imaginable object, from the names of places, from trades 
 and employments, from personal peculiarities, from the Christian name of the father, from objects in 
 the Animal and Vegetable kingdoms, from things animate and inanimate ; their varied character is 
 as remarkable as their singularity is often striking. Some of the terms which swell the list are so 
 odd, and even ridiculous, that it is difficult to assign any satisfactory reason for their assumption in 
 the first instance as family names, unless indeed, as has been conjectured, they were nicknames or 
 sobriquets, which neither the first bearers nor their posterity could avoid." 
 
 Referring to Welsh surnames he stated : — " In Wales, however, the surnames, if surnames they can 
 be called, do not present the same variety, most of them having been formed in a simple manner from 
 the Christian or fore-name of the father in the Genitive case, son being understood. Thus, Evan's 
 son became Evans, John's son Jones, &c. Others were derived from the father's name coalesced with 
 a form of the word ap or hab (son of), by which Hugh ap Howell became Powell, Evan ap Hugh 
 became Pugh, and in like manner were formed nearly all the Welsh surnames beginning with the 
 letters B and P. Hereditary surnames were not in use even amongst the gentry of Wales until the 
 time of Henry VIII., nor were they generally established until a much later period ; indeed, at the 
 present day they can scarcely be said to be adopted amongst the lower classes in the wilder (districts, 
 where, as the marriage registers show, the Christian name of the father still frequently becomes the 
 patronymic of the son in the manner just described." ^ 
 
 With respect to Cornish names the Report states:— "From the circumstance of their common 
 British origin it might be supposed that the Welsh people and the inhabitants of Cornwall would 
 exhibit some analogous principles in the construction of their surnames ; such, however, is not the 
 case. The Cornish surnames are mostly local, derived from words of' British root, and they are 
 often strikingly peculiar. A large number have the prefix Tre, a town ; the words Pol, a pool. Pen, 
 a head) Ros, a heath, and Lan, a church, are also of frequent occurrence in surnames." 
 
 With regard to the derivation of names in Scotland, the Registrar-General for that country in 
 his 6th Report, remarks : — " Almost all the names of our Border and Highland Clans belong to 
 the first class" [Surnames derived from Patronymics], "and they are peculiarly Scottish, neither 
 belonging to England nor to Ireland. These Surnames include all those beginning with Mac, as 
 Macgregor, Mactaggart, etc., besides those simple ones, as Eraser, Douglas, Cameron, Kerr, Grant 
 &c." ..." The Surnames derived from rank and occupation are very numerous, but are equally- 
 common to England as to Scotland." ..." Surnames taken from the locality in which the 
 persons originally resided form a very numerous class, and they also are, to a great extent, peculiar 
 to Scotland, seeing that there is scarcely a county, parish, town, river, or remarkable locality but 
 has its name perpetuated in the Surnames." ..." The sobriquets perpetuated as Surnames 
 are, perhaps, the most varied of all, and embrace every personal or mental quality supposed to reside 
 in the different individuals to whom they were originally given.'' 
 
 The personal Names in the Isle of Man are of considerable interest in connection with Irish 
 Surnames, as that Island has passed through phases of occupancy some what similar to those of this 
 country. Its history may be divided into three periods: the first, when it was inhabited by Celts 
 similar in race and language to the Irish ; the second, the period of Scandinavian domination • and 
 the third, the time during which it has been under English dominion. The names in the Island 
 represent each of these periods. As in Ireland, the largest number of names are derived from words 
 of Celtic origin ; some are from Scandinavian roots, and there are now a large number of names 
 traceable to English sources, 
 
 On visiting the Island, I was much struck by the peculiar forms many names had assumed there 
 difiering from those found in Ireland, though evidently derived from the same source. Thus the 
 name " Clucas " is the Manx form of Lucas, both names being derived from the Celtic MacLucais— 
 son of Luke. " Cannell," a name pecuKar to the Isle of Man, is derived from the Celtic MacOonaill 
 son of ConaU. The Irish modem form is M'Connell. 
 
 "Kermode," another Manx name, is contracted from the Celtic name MacDiarmaid, son of 
 Diarmaid— Irish modem form M'Dermott. "Mylchreest" is derived from the Celtic] MacGioIla 
 Chrlosd— the son of the servant of Christ. The modem Irish form is Gilchrist. Many other 
 instances could be adduced.

 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 SURNAMES IN IRELAND ETHNOLOGICALLy CONSIDERED. 
 
 Celtic Names. 
 
 The present population of Ireland is a mixture of a number of different races in which the 
 Celtic is the predominant element. 
 
 The great bulk of the most common names in the country are undoubtedly of Celtic origin. 
 Many oi them still retain the- prefixes and Mac, the former peculiar to Ireland and the latter 
 used both in Ireland and Scotland. In many cases, however, these prefixes have been dropped. 
 It is a matter of common occurrence to find in the same record Celtic names written with the 
 prefixes and Mac and without them. 
 
 It is impossible now, in some cases, to trace whether families are of Celtic or English descent, as 
 some of the English settlers took Irish names, and Irish families were compelled to adopt 
 English surnames. 
 
 By a Statute of 1366, it was provided, inter alia, that "Every Englishman do use the English 
 language, and be named by an English name, leaving off entirely the manner of naming used by 
 the Irish " ; and in 1465 (5 Ed. IV., cap. 3), a law was passed enacting " that every Irishman that 
 dwells betwixt or amongst Englishmen in the County of Dublin, Myeth, VrieU, and Kildare . . . 
 shall take to him an English Surname of one town, as Sutton, Chester, Trym, Skryne, Corke, 
 KinsaJe; or colour, as white, blacke, browne ; or arte or science, as smith or carpenter; or office, 
 as cooke, butler . . ." 
 
 The existence of the two languages in the country accounts for the practice which prevails in 
 some parts of Ireland of using English names with their Irish translations or equivalents 
 interchangeably, some particulars regarding which will be found in my Book of Varieties and 
 Synonymes of Surnames and Christian Names in Ireland already referred to. 
 
 The Annals of the Four Masters, and other eminent Authorities, afford information whereby the 
 ancient location of the principal Irish Tribes and Septs can be approximately ascertained, and 
 Tribal Maps of Ireland have been published from time to time, among which the following may be 
 mentioned : — 
 
 1. A Map showing the territories of the Irish Princes and Chiefs — the various Septs subordinate 
 to them, &c., also the Districts in possession of the English Lords, their armorial bearings, &c., 
 A.D. 1567. 
 
 [A copy of this Map will be found appended to State Papers of Henry VIII., Vol. 2., Part 3, 
 and another copy in National Manuscripts of Ireland, Part IV.-l ; No. 5.] 
 
 2. Hibernise, Britannias Insulse, Nova Descriptio, by Abraham OrteHus, 1572. 
 
 3. Ortelius improved, or a new Map of Ireland wherein are inserted the principal Families of Irish 
 and EngHsh Extraction, who possessed that kingdom on the commencement of the I7th Century. 
 Published according to Act of Parliament by P. Wogan, Old Bridge No, 23, Dublin. 
 
 4. A Topographical and Historical Map of Ancient Ireland by Baronies, by Philip MacDermott, 
 M.D. attached to Connellan's Annals of the Four Masters. Published in 1846. (This Map has 
 since been reproduced both in Ireland and in America).

 By comparing the foregoing Lists with the Table at the end of this Report, it can be seen how 
 far these families are at present represented in the localities formerly inha,bited by them and in 
 the country at large. The above Tables, however, exhibit the information for counties proper, 
 whereas the Tables on pages 27-29 and 31-73 are compiled by Registration Counties, i.e., groups of 
 entire Poor Law Unions most nearly representing the area of the county proper. The differences 
 are for the most part slight, but in a few instances the name may be found in the county proper 
 immediately adjoining. 
 
 It will be seen that some of these names have spread all over Ireland, such as Murphy, Kelly, 
 Kennedy, Maguire, Quinn, &c. Some of these FamUies have disappeared, or have migrated to another 
 part of the country, or their names have become so altered in process of time al to be incapable 
 of identification. 
 
 [In many cases, however, the descendants of the ancient families are still domiciled in the same 
 tracts as their forefathers, as shown in the following instances : 
 
 The MacCabes were a warlike clan originally from County Monaghan, but subsequently settled 
 in County Cavan. At the present time they are largely represented in the popiUation of each of 
 these counties. 
 
 The MacCarthys were anciently Kings and Princes of Desmond, Southern Munster, i.e., County 
 Cork, the greater part of Kerry, and portions of Waterford and Tipperary. The MacCarthys are 
 now resident principally in the Counties of Cork, Kerry, and Limerick, more than half of them 
 being found in County Cork.

 The MacDermotts were ancient Princes of Moylurg, having their territories in the Barony of 
 Boyle, County Koscommon, and parts of the Parishes of Islandeady, Turlough and Breaffy, in 
 Counties Sligo and Mayo. Their chief fortress "was on an island in Lough Key, near Boyle," and 
 they were hereditary Marshals of Connaught. At the present time Connaught is the province in 
 which the MacDermotts are principally found, and half of the persons of the name in that province 
 belong to County Roscommon. 
 
 The Munster MacMahons formerly possessed the greater part of the Baronies of Moyarta and 
 Clonderalaw, in the County Clare, in which county the predominant name now is McMahon. 
 
 The O'Bymes anciently possessed the greater part of the Barony of Ballinacor, County Wicklow, 
 and wore powerful Chiefs in that part of the country. Byrne is the leading name now in the 
 Counties of Wicklow, Dublin, and Louth. 
 
 The original habitat of the O'Driscolls was the Barony of West Carbery, in County Cork, where 
 O'Driscoll was Lord of Baltimore, and possessed the Island of Cape Clear and adjacent territory. 
 The great majority of the present DriscoUs are to be found there. 
 
 The O'Doghertys were a powerful Sept in County Donegal, and were located in Inishowen 
 Barony, of which O'Dogherty was Lord. The Doghertys or Dohertys are numerously represented 
 there at the present time. 
 
 The O'Flahertys were originally located in the Barony of Clare, County Galway, but in the 
 thirteenth century, having been expelled from this territory, thej' settled in the Barony of Moycullen, 
 and were styled Lords of lar Conacht or West Connaught. A large number of the Flahertys are 
 now to be found in the Baronies of Moycullen, Ross, and Ballinahincb, in County Galway. 
 
 The O'Gallaghers were a warlike Clan in the Baronies of Raphoe and Tirhugh, County Donegal. 
 As will be seen from the Table on page 28, Gallagher is now the most numerously represented name 
 in County Donegal. 
 
 In ancient times the O'Keeffes were Marshals and chief military leaders of Desmond. They 
 possessed several castles, and were styled Princes of Fermoy. The principal county for the 
 Keeffes and O'KeeflFes at present is Cork. 
 
 The O'Mahonys were anciently located in Cork and Kerry, where they were powerful Chiefs 
 and sometimes styled Princes. They had several castles along the sea-coast. In County Cork an 
 O'Mahony was Lord of Ivaugh, in the Barony of West Carbery, and an O'Mahony was Chief in 
 Kinalea Barony. In County Kerry there was a Chief of the name in the Barony of Iveragh, and 
 there were O'Mahonys in the Barony of Clanmaurice. The majority of persons of the name of 
 Mahony or O'Mahony are still found in these two counties. 
 
 The O'Malleyfe were celebrated Chiefs whose territory comprised the present Baronies of 
 Murrisk and Burrishoole in the County Maj-o. The Malleys and O'Malleys are now located 
 principally in the two baronies named, and in that of Erris, in County Mayo. 
 
 The O'iMeaghers were formerly powerful Chiefs possessing the Barony of Ikerrin, in County 
 Tipperary, of which O'Meagher was Lord. The Meaghers or Mahers are principally io\x^_J»'-'^Mi' 
 County Tipperary at present. 
 
 The O'Mearas had an extensive territory in the Barony ofJiI*»«^ '!?i moiid, County Tipperary, in 
 which O'Meara was a Chief. The name of their principg^'resideuce, Tuam-ui-Meara, is still retained 
 in the town of Toomyvara. The Mearas or O'Mearas are still numerous in that locality. 
 
 The name Moriarty is now largely represented in County Kerry, in which county the O'Moriartys 
 were Chiefs in the Barony of Dunkerron. 
 
 O'Mulvey was a Chief in the Barony of Mohill, County Leitrim, in which county about 50 per 
 cent, of persons bearing the name Mulvey are now found. 
 
 The name Noonan occurs chiefly in Cork, in which county the O'Noonans formerly dwelt. 
 O'Noonan was a Chief in Duhallow Barony, and there were O'Noonans in Barrymore and Kinalea 
 Baronies 
 
22 Appendix to the Twenty-ninth Report of the 
 
 There were two branches of the O'Ryans or O'Mulrians — the Carlow branch, in which county 
 O'Ryan was Prince of Idrone — and the Tipperary branch, in which county one O'Ryan was Lord of 
 Owney and Arra, and another Chief of Borrisoleigh. They also had possessions in County Limerick. 
 The Kyans are now found in the Counties of Carlow, Kilkenny, Limerick, and Tipperary, the last 
 county having by far the largest number. The Ryans of Tipperary are in some places so numerous 
 that they are distinguished in the records by additional names a{)pended to the surnames, such 
 as — Ryan (Bawn) ; Ryan (Buckly) ; Ryan (Cooper) ; Ryan (Cormack) ; Ryan (Corney) ; Ryan 
 (Dalton) ; Ryan (Dan) ; Ryan (Jack) ; Ryan (James) ; Ryan (Larry) ; Ryan (Ned) ; Ryan (Owen) > 
 Ryan (Russell) ; Ryan (Tim Daniel). 
 
 There were several branches of the O'Sullivan family ; one was located in County Cork where 
 they were Princes of Beara, now Bere and Bantry Baronies, and were called O'Sullivan (Beara). 
 Another (O'Sullivan Mor), occupied portion of County Kerry, where they were Lords of Dunkerron. 
 At the present time the SuUivans and O'Sullivans are most numerous in the Counties of Cork 
 and Kerry. 
 
 The O'Tooles were celebrated Princes of Imaile, in County Wicklow, and had their seat in the 
 Glen of Imaile which still retains that name. Their power extended into County Kildare. A 
 considerable number of Tooles are still resident in the County Wicklow. 
 
 Danish Names. 
 From the Ninth to the Twelfth Centuries the Ostmen or Danes came to Ireland and established 
 themselves on the seaboard. They founded the Kingdom of Dublin a.d., 852, and their chief towns 
 were Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, and Limerick. Some of the surnames now in use are 
 traceable to Danish origin. Amongst these may be mentioned Betagh, Coppinger, Dowdall, Drom- 
 goole or Drumgoole, Gould, Harold, Palmer, Plunkett, Skiddy, Sweetman (Swedeman), Trant, &c. 
 The name " Ost " is met with in County Wicklow. 
 
 Dr. MacDermott, in his annotations to the Annals of Ireland by the Four Masters, states : — 
 "Many families of Danish origin took Irish surnames, prefixing and Mac, so that their 
 descent cannot now be ascertained, and several of their chiefs took Irish Christian names, particularly 
 that of Patrick in honour of the patron saint of Ireland. The Danes and Norwegians being in 
 possession of Dublin and some other parts of the qpuntry, and having maintained their colonies 
 there for more than 300 years, there is consequently much of Danish blood in the Counties of 
 Dublin and Meath, particularly in Fingall, and there are many families of Danish descent mixed 
 by intermarriages with the old Milesian Irish." 
 
 Anglo-Noeman Names. 
 
 The circumstances connected with the Anglo-Norman invasion need not be referred to here. It 
 
 suffices to say that through it the second great graft on our Celtic . stock tobk place, many of our 
 
 present surnames, notwithstanding the changes in form and spelling which time has wrought in 
 
 them, being traceable to an Anglo-Norman source. As examples the following may be given : 
 
 Barry, Bellew, Bermingham, Burke, Carew, Clare, Cogan, Dalton, Darcy, De Courcy, Delamere, 
 Dillon, FitzEustace (Eustace), Fitzgerald, Fitzhenry, Fitzmaurice, Fitzsimons, Fitzstephen, 
 Gernon, Grace, Hussey, Keating, Lacy, Le Poer, Marshall, Montmorency, Mortimer, Nangle, Nugent, 
 Petit, Prendergast,~FuroelI, Eo.?^'^, Staunton, Taaffe, Talbot, Tuite, Tyrrell, Verdon, Vesey. 
 
 Dr. MacDermott, in a note to the "Aiinals^of the Four Masters," states: — "The following 
 Anglo-Norman or English families adopted Irish surnames : — The de Burgos or Burkes, of Connaught 
 took the name of Mac William, and some of them that of MacPhilip ; the de Angulos or Nangles, of 
 Meath and Mayo, changed the name to MacCostello ; the de Exeters, of Mayo, to MacJordan • the 
 Ban-etts, of Mayo, to MacWattin ; the Stauntons, of Mayo, to M'Aveeley ; . . . . the de 
 Berminghams, of Connaught and other places, to MacFeorais, or Peorais ; . . . the Fitzsimmons 
 of the King's County, to MacRuddery ; .... the Poers, of Kilkenny and Waterford, to 
 MacShere; the Butlers, to MacPierce; the Fitzgeralds, to MacThomas and MacMauiice ; the de 
 Courcys, of Cork, to MacPatrick ; the Barrys, of Cork, to MacAdam ; and many others, in like 
 manner."

 English' Names. 
 
 Large numbers of English came to Ireland from the 12th to the 18th century, and from these 
 sources the great bulk of the Engljsh names now found in Ireland are derived. These names are 
 very numerous, though in many cases, as compared with the old Celtic names, they represent but 
 a small number of persons. 
 
 The following are a few specimens of English names numerously represented : — 
 
 Adams; Andrews; Arnold; Ashe; Atkinson; Baker; Barr; Barton: Bates; Bennett; Berry; 
 
 Bingham; Bolton; Bradshaw; Brooks: Canning; Carlisle; Carter; Christy; Cooper; Cox.

 Somers; Swan; Taylor; Thornton; Turner; Walker; Wall; Waters; Watson; Webb; Webster;

 Cornish Names. 
 
 Some Cornish or Briton names are also found in Ireland, such as Jagoe, Lanyon, Pascoe, Pender, 
 Pendred, Penrose, Tredennick, Tresilian, Trevelyan, Vivian, &c. 
 
 Welsh Names. 
 
 Welsh immigrants also found their way into Ireland. The name " Walsh " — Irish, Brannagh or 
 Breathnach, a Briton or Welshman — occurs in early times in the Gounties of Cork, Dublin, Kerry, 
 Kilkenny, Tipperary, Waterford, Wexford, and Wicklow ; and at the present day the name is 
 largely represented in nearly every county in Ireland, especially in Cork, Mayo, Waterford, Gal way, 
 Dublin, and Wexford. According to some ancient authorities, Welshmen of the following names 
 settled in Ireland after the English Invasion: — Howell, Lawless, Lillis, Lynagh, Lynnott, and 
 Merrick. , 
 
 A remarkable colony from Wales, yet not consisting solely or even mainly of Welsh, was formed 
 at an early date in the Baronies of Forth and Bargy, county Wexford. It is supposed to have been a 
 settlement made at the time of the Norman Invasion. The interest in this colony is centred in the 
 fact that it continued to exist separate from the native Irish, and maintained its peculiarities, 
 character, and language down to a recent period ; and traces of its special characteristics are still to 
 be found. 
 
 Reference is made to his colony in a series of returns supplied to Sir William Petty, written 
 about 1680. In them it is stated "they preserve their first language and almost only understand 
 the same unless elsewhere educated." Also that "they observe the same form of apparel their 
 predecessors first used," which is, " according to the English mode, of very fine exquisitively dressed 
 frieze, comlie, but not costlie ; that they invioblie profess and maintain the same faith and form of 
 religion," and that " they seldom dispose of their children in marriage but unto natives or such as 
 will determine to reside in the Barony." Several peculiar customs and usages of the colony are also 
 detailed in the returns referred to. 
 
 In 1788 General Vallancey visited the colony and embodied the result of his researches in a paper 
 which is printed in the Second Volume of the Transactions of the Royal Irish Academy, and in 
 which he gives a specimen of the old dialect of the colony. 
 
 He remarks : — " This Colony have preserved their ancient manners, customs, and language ; and 
 " fully occupying every inch of ground, the natives could never obtain a re-establishment therein. 
 " As population increased some of the English have been obliged to remove into the neighbouring 
 " baronies within these fifty years, and by an intercourse with the Irish the language of these 
 " emigi-ants became corrupted, and these by their connections with their kindred remaining in the 
 " baronies of Bargie and Forth have in some measure introduced this corrupted dialect there." 
 
 He mentions, amongst the names of the old colonists at that date — " Hore," " Cod," " Stafford," 
 ^' Whitty," " Rossiter," " Sinnott," " Stephen," " Quiney," and " Walsh." 
 
24 Appendix to the Twenty-niyith Report of the 
 
 In Hall's Ireland also (published in J 841), there are references to this interesting colony. 
 
 Mr. and Mr.s. S. C. Hall observe :—" The baronies of Bargy and Forth, which extend along the 
 " coast from the Bay of Bannow to the Bay of Wexford, form perhaps the most singular and 
 " remarkable district of Ireland, its inhabitants being to this day ' a peculiar people.' . . The 
 "peninsular position of these baronies— the sea on the one side, and the mountain of Forth on the 
 " other — contributed, no doubt in a great degree, to the safety and stability of the Colony ; yet had 
 " it not been for the numerous castles, or, more properly speaking, ' fortalices,' the ruins of which 
 " form so remarkable a feature in the landscape, the courage and daring of the native Irish would 
 " have caused their extermination. Over a surface of about 40,000 acres there are still standing the 
 " remains of fifty-nine such buildings ; and the sites of many more can be still pointed out." 
 
 A paper on the subject of the dialect of the Barony of Forth was read by the Right Rev. Dr. Russell, 
 late President of Maynooth College, at the Dublin Meeting of the British Association in August, 
 1857. 
 
 After an examination of the fragments of the language extant he states : — " T venture, therefore, to 
 "conclude that the barony of Forth language is a lineal descent of the English introduced by the 
 "first settlers, modernized in its forms, and also, though in a less degree, in its vocabulaiy." 
 
 Dr. Russell also remarks — " Like Irish in what used to be the Irish-speaking districts, the I'orth 
 language has become unfashionable in Forth itself, and the young generation are unwilling even to 
 acknowledge an acquaintance with it, much less to employ it as a medium of ordinaiy intercourse." 
 
 Dr. Mitchell, Inspector of Registration, who visited the locality in June last, states : — " There is a 
 " very great change over the face of this district since Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Hall — 50 years ago — 
 " described its inhabitants as still ' a peculiar people.' The chauge is easily explained bj' the opening 
 " up of the whole country — the district markets — and the facilities for travel afibrded by railway 
 " train and steamboat. There' is no doubt, I think, that the present inhabitants are largely the 
 " offspring of intermarriage with native Irish. It is only among the most illiterate that any consider- 
 " able number of words of their old dialect is now used. Of the surnames given by Vallancey 
 " two, viz., Stephen and Quiney, appear to have died out in these Baronies, and others have spread 
 " all over the county and beyond. The names Codd, Stafford, Sinnott, Hore, Rossiter, and Walsh 
 " are very common in the town of Wexford." 
 
 Scottish Names. 
 From an early period there were migrations of Scotch from Scotland to Ireland where they 
 settled in Ulster, but the formal Plantation of Ulster took place in the seventeenth century. The 
 majority of these settlers were Scotch, 
 
 On reference to the Table at the end of this Report the very frequent occurrence of Scotch names 
 in the Province of Ulster will be seen. The following may be given as examples — Stewart, 
 Campbell, Scott, Miller, McKenzie, Ross, McKay, Paterson, Fraser, Morrison, Cameron, Mcintosh, 
 McGregor, Kerr, Graham, Sinclair, Gordon. 
 
 Huguenot Names. 
 Representatives of other races have from time to time settled in this country ;• prominent amongst 
 these may be mentioned the French and Flemish Huguenots. The Irish Parliament in 1674 passed 
 an Act granting letters of naturalization to the refugees. The Duke of Ormonde, then Viceroy 
 patronized them, and through his instrumentality, colonies of them were founded at Dublin 
 Kilkenny, Portarlington, Waterford, Cork, and Lisburn. 
 
 They started manufactures of silk, gloves, lace, cloth, and linen. The manufacture of " Irish 
 Poplin " in the Liberties of Dublin had its origin with these industrious foreigners, and in the north 
 of Ireland they established the manufacture of linen and cambric. 
 
 Many Huguenot names are still amongst us ; the following may be given as examples— Barr^, 
 Blacquiere, Boileau, Chaigneau, Du Bedat, Champion, Chenevix,' Cprcellis, Crommelin, Delacherois, 
 Drelincouit, Dubourdieu, Du Cros, Fleury, Gaussen, Logier, Guerin, Hazard (Hassard), La Touche,' 
 La Fevre, Lefroy, Lefanu, Maturin, Perrin, Saurin, Trench, Des VignoUes. 
 
Registrar-General of Marriages, Births, and Deaths in Ireland. 25 
 
 I have been furnished by Dr. Mitchell with the following notes regarding the Huguenot settle- 
 ment in Portarlington at present : — 
 
 " There is at the present time (June, 1893) in the Townland of ' Deerpark ' near Portarlington, a 
 colony of men of pure Huguenot descent." 
 
 " Mr. Smiles, in his book on ' The Huguenots ' (1867), states, the Blancs, butchers, transmitted 
 the business from father to son for more than 150 years, and they are still recognisable at 
 Portarlington under the name of ' Blong.' Not only is this so, but there are three families of them 
 there now, two of which have retained (or returned to) the original spelling of the surname Blanc — 
 as can be seen in our Register Books, and the trade of butchering is still followed by the family. 
 
 " The Medical Officer of Cloneygowan Dispensary District, Dr. Tabuteau, represents another 
 Portarlington Huguenot family, and his father, the late Dr. Tabuteau (now eighteen years dead), 
 remembered the time when Divine service was conducted in French. The surnames Boileau and Des 
 Voeux have disappeared from this locality only a few years ago. General Boileau and Major Des 
 Voeux with their famiKes having left Portarlington. There is an aged carpenter here, ' La Combre,' 
 of pure Huguenot descent, so that this name also, as well as another, ' Champ,' may be added to the 
 list. The ' Oorcellis ' family now spell it Corsellis, and the full surname ' Des VignoUes ' still 
 occurs." 
 
 German Palatinate H^ames. 
 
 In the Eighteenth Century there was a German migration into Ireland from the Palatinate of the 
 Rhine. In 1709 a fleet was sent to Rotterdam by Queen Anne, which brought over about 7,000 
 of these refugees to England. About 3,000 were sent to North America, where they settled in 
 Pennsylvania and North Carolina. The remainder, except a few families which remained in 
 England, came over to Ireland, and settled principally in the County of Limerick. They were 
 allowed eight acres of land for each man, woman, and child, at 5s. an acre, and the Government 
 engaged to pay their rent for twenty years. They were an industrious and frugal race, but their 
 numbers were subsequently largely reduced by emigration to America, and at the present day but 
 few, comparatively, remain. 
 
 Ferrar, the historian of Limerick, describes thus this German Colony as it existed in 1780 : — " The 
 " Palatines preserve their language, but it is declining ; they sleep between two beds ; they appoint a 
 " burgomaster to whom they appeal in all disputes. They are industrious men, and have leases from the 
 " proprietor of the land at reasonable rents ; they are, consequently, better fed and clothed than 
 " the generality of Irish peasants. Besides, their mode of husbandry and crops are better than 
 " those of their neighbours. They have by degrees left off their sour krout, and feed on potatoes 
 " milk, butter, oaten and wheaten bread, some meat and fowls, of which they rear many. * * * 
 " The women are very industrious * * * . Besides their domestic employments and the care of 
 " their children, they reap the corn, plough the ground, and assist the men in everything. In short 
 ■ "the Palatines have benefited the county by increasing tillage, and are a laborious, independent 
 " people, who are mostly employed on their own small farms." 
 
 Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Hall describe the " Palatines " in 1840 as " different in character, and distinct 
 " in habits from the people of the country." They state : — " Th6 elders of the family preserve in a 
 " great degree the language, customs, and religion of their old country ; but the younger mingle and , 
 " marry with their Irish neighbours." 
 
 Dr. Mitchell has kindly furnished me with the following remarks regarding the present condition 
 
 of this colony — 
 
 " I find, by personal inquiries made on the spot (May, 1893), that Palatines bearing the following 
 surnames at the present time occupy farms in and round Court Matrix, Ballingran, and 
 
 Killiheeji : Baker, Bovanizer, Bowen (Adam Bowen was one of my informants, interviewed on 
 
 his own 8 (Irish) acre farm near Court Matrix), Doube (pronounced 'Dobe'), Delmege (or 
 •Delmage'— as they themselves pronounce it), Gilliard, Latchford, Ligier (pronounced 'Leg-iar,' 
 with the 'g' hard), Millar, Lodwig, Modlar, Pyper, Reynard (pronounced 'Reinart'); Ruttle, 
 Shire, Stark, Switzer (Jacob Switzer was another of my informants, whom ' I interviewed on his 
 own 24!-acre farm at Court Matrix), Teskey, Travers. 
 
 « The above 19 names undoubtedly represent more than double that number of families in the 
 localities specified above ; several of them also occur at Adare. There are several families of the 
 name ' Switzer,' several of the name 'Delmege,' and ' Ruttle,' and so on. 
 
 "When I got to Askeaton District, I found a Palatine name, 'Ruttle,' on a signboard (a very 
 
26 Appendix to the Twenty-ninth Report of the 
 
 unusual circumstance). Generally, Palatine sons succeed their fathers on the same farms onginally 
 allotted to their ancestors in 1709. And however those may have fared who have since left Co. 
 Limerick for America, the Palatines here at present are tenant farmers, as a rule, like the original 
 settlers, many of the 8-acre lots having been consolidated into larger farms. 
 
 "At Court Matrix, I saw the house of the Rev. Mr. Doube— a Palatine Clergyman at present 
 stationed in Co. WickloW. When I got to Pallaskenry, I found along with some of the surnames 
 already given, others, viz. :—Neazor, Heavenor, Smyth (spelled with a 'y' and originally 'Schmidt'). 
 
 "The Christian names for males, Nehemiah, Christopher, Adam, Jacob, Jethro, Julius, Ebenezer, 
 and for females — Dorothy, &c., are still of common occurrence. 
 
 "Differing originally in language (though even the oldest of the present generation know nothing 
 of the German tongue, spoken or written), as well as in race and religion from the natives among 
 whom they were planted, these Palatines stiU cling together like the members of a clan, and 
 worship together. Most of them have a distinctly foreign type of features, and are strongly built, 
 swarthy in complexion, dark-haired and brown-eyed. The comfortable houses built in 1709 are in 
 ruins now. I traced, with Jacob Switzer's aid, the original " Square " of Court Matrix in the 
 ruined walls still standing ; I also traced in the very centre of this square the foundations of the 
 little Meeting House in which John Wesley occasionally preached to them in the interval, 1750- 
 1765. Modem houses stand there now, but not closely grouped together. They are all comfortable 
 in appearance, some thatched, some slated, some of one storey, others of two. Nearly all have a 
 neat little flower garden in front, and very many have an orchard beside, or immediately behind the 
 house. There is all the appearance of thrift and industry among them." 
 
 Jewish Names. 
 
 The last colony to which attention need be called is that resulting from the recent Jewish 
 immigration. For many years Jews have been resident in Dublin and other chief cities in Ireland, 
 but during the decade, 1881-90, their numbers were largely increased by the arrival of Russian 
 and Polish Jews. Most of these have settled in Dublin, where, on the south side of the city, they 
 have formed a Jewish Quarter, and opened several Synagogues. The Marriage and Birth Indexes of 
 this Office now afford abundant evidence of their presence in our midst. 
 
 As shown by the Census Returns, they principally follow the occupations of — Commercial 
 Clerks, Commercial Travellers, Drapers, Dressmakers, General Dealers, Merchants, Pedlars, Shop 
 Assistants, Tailors and Tailoresses. 
 
 The following may be given as examples of the names of the Jewish Settlers : — 
 
 Coplan. 
 
 Maisell. 
 
 Statzumsky. 
 
 Wedeclefsky 
 
 Fridberg.

 Weiner. 
 
 Greenberg. 
 
 Rabinovitch. 
 
 Wachman. 
 
 Wins took. 
 
 Hesselberg. 
 
 RoBsin. 
 
 
 
 In addition to the foregoing there are a number of foreigners who have settled in Ireland from 
 France, Germany, Italy, and other countries, and whose names appear in our Indexes. 
 
 Though " Birthplace " is not an accurate test of nationality, it may be of interest to attach the 
 following Table extracted from the Census of 1891, which shows the Birthplaces of the persons 
 enumerated in Ireland according to each Census from 1841 to 1891 : —

 It will be seen that although the name "Murphy" is the most numerous in the country at 
 large, it does not occupy the leading place in many of the counties. In the Province of Leinster in 
 two Counties only — Wexford and. Carlow — does it stand first. With regard to this name in the 
 former County, the Earl of Courtown in a recent paper on the " Celts and Teutons in Ireland,' 
 remarks as follows : — 
 
 " Murphy is the Anglicised form of MacMurrough, the old regal family of Leinster. On the death of 
 Dermot MacMurrough, the last acknowledged King of Leinster, his rights, by English law, passed to his only 
 legitimate child, Eva, wife of Richard de Clare, Earl of Pembroke, known as Strongbow. The legitimate 
 male line was continued in the descendants of Dermot's brother Morrogh, who continue to hold lands in 
 North Wexford. This name is by far the most numerous in the county, and is found in every part of it." 
 
 In the counties of Dublin, Louth, and Wicklow, " Byrne " is the most common name, whereas 
 in Kildare and King's County, " Kelly " heads the list. In Longford and Meath, " Eeilly " is the 
 principal name, and in Kilkenny, " Brennan." In Queen's County, " Dunne " appears at the head 
 of the list, and in Westmeath, " Lynch." 
 
 In the Province of Munster, " Sullivan" is the predominant name in Cork and Kerry, followed, 
 in the former county, very closely by the name ." Murphy." " Ryan " heads the list in Limerick and 
 Tipperary, while " McMahon " and " Power " are the leading names, respectively, in the counties of 
 Clare and Waterf ord. 
 
 In the Province of Ulster in one county only, namely, Armagh, is the name " Murphy " in excess 
 of the others. In Antrim, " Smith " appears first ; in Cavan, " Reilly ;" in Donegal, " Gallagher ;" 
 and in Down, " Thompson." The leading name in Fermanagh is " Maguire," and in Londonderry, 
 " Doherty " stands at the head of the list. The principal names in Monaghan and Tyrone are 
 " DuflFy " and "Quinn," respectively. 
 
 In the Province of Connaught, in no one county does the name " Murphy " occupy the principal 
 position. In Galway and Roscommon the name " KeUy " takes precedence, and in Leitrim that 
 name and " Reynolds " are the first two on the list and equally represented. " Walsh " stands first 
 ia the county of Mayo, and " Brennan " heads the list in Sligo.
