McKeown (other)
McKeown or MacKeown is an Irish surname. it originates from two distinct, but similar Irish names: ''Mac Eoghain'' ("Son of Eoghan") and '' Mac Eoin'' ("Son of Eoin"), which are pronounced identically: /mək ˈow ən/ or "McOwen". The surnames are associated with the Mac Eoin Bissett family, a family who arrived in the Irish Glens of Antrim in the 13th century AD with John Bissett. The family settled in the region with other Anglo-Norman families, marrying into local Gaelic families, adopting the Gaelic culture, laws, language and finding themselves totally assimilated into Irish life.

Irish Name
A formal Irish name consists of a given name and a surname. In the Irish language, surnames are generally patronymic in etymology but are no longer literal patronyms as, for example, most Icelandic names still are. The form of a surname varies according to whether its bearer is male or female, and in the case of a married woman, whether she chooses to adopt her husband's surname. An alternative traditional naming convention consists of the first name followed by a double patronym, usually with the father and grandfather's names. This convention is not used for official purposes but is generalized in ''Gaeltachtaí'' (Irish-speaking areas) and also survives in some rural non-''Gaeltacht'' areas. Sometimes the name of the mother or grandmother may be used instead of the father or grandfather. Epithets A first name may be modified by an adjective to distinguish its bearer from other people with the same name. ''Mór'' ("big") and ''Óg'' ("young") are used to distinguish father and ...
