In response to your query, below is one explanation for O'Huallachain
meaning "of the Nolan's". They are interchangeable by the 17th century.

http://www.dunnclan.org/nolan.htm

Dunn Sept Association

Nolan Family

"In 1878, however, Connacht landlords named Nolan possessed over 12,000
acres; but there was no extensive landowner of the name in or near Co.
Carlow. There was also a small sept of O'Nuallain belonging to the Corca
Laidhe group. (Possibly the Nolans of west Munster to-day stem from them).
These, however, for some reason not apparent, were often called O hUllachain
- thus in Lynche's De Praesulibus (1672) the two names are treated as
interchangeable. In this connexion it may be mentioned that, according to
Woulfe, O hUallachain is anglicized Nolan in north Connacht. As Knowlan and
Knowland this name is noted in the "census" of 1659 as numerous in Longford
and in the adjacent baronies of Co. Westmeath. In Irish the name is O
Nuallain, I.e. descendant of Nuallan."
