Thank you / Go raibh maith agat, a Sheáin. Tá Gaeilge mhaith agat. Aontaím leat - braitheann an cheist seo ar thíreolaíocht. / Lois, Seán is right - this question depends on geography. B'fhéidir go dtagann Lois ó thalamh Ua Eachach? Lois, do you know what barony this townland is in? Le gach dea-ghuí / Best, - Jerry

A Sheáin, a chara

De réir Woulfe 7 MacLysaght, níl aon Ó Cuinn nó Mac Cuinn le fáil i gCo. and Dúin. Ach, an bhfuil "Irish Surnames" agat le MacLysaght? Deireann sé faoi "Quinn" go dtagann an t-ainm seo go minic as Ó Coinne / Quinney i nUladh. Agus deireann Woulfe faoi Ó Coinne go raibh siad suite ar dtús i n-Uíbh Eachach i gCo. an Dúin. Cad a smaoineann tú? Le gach dea-ghuí, - Gearóid

Clan Quinn

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
O'QUINN: Quinn is one of the most numerous Irish surnames, the number of
people in Ireland so called at the present day being estimated at seventeen
thousand: in the list of commonest surnames it occupies twentieth place in
the country as a whole and first place in Co. Tyrone, though widespread in
many counties. Tyrone is the place of origin of one of the five distinctive
septs of this name. The most notable were the Dalcassian sept of Thomond,
whos territory lay around Corofin, in the Barony of Inchiquin, Co. Clare;
and that of Antrim, where the Quinns have long been associated with the
Glens of Antrim. The O'Quinns of Co. Longford were also an important sept,
being of the same stock as the O'Farralls of Annaly. It will be noticed that
the place names Inchiquin, Ballyquin etc., are spelt with only one final N.
There are two in Irish--O'Quinn--which surname is formed from the personal
name Conn.
