Matheson’s Special Report on Surnames of Ireland shows surnames with
five or more entries in the birth indexes of 1890, and the main counties
in which they were found. The birth rate was 1:44 at that time so you
can estimate the number of people of the name at that time. The great
value of Matheson's report is that it indicates how common a particular
surname is countrywide, provincially and also within a county. The
distribution of surnames has not changed significantly since the
publication of the Report - so it is reasonable to presume the same
pattern prior to 1890. LANAHAN is not listed.
