McLaughlin (surname)
M(a)cLaughlin is the most common Anglicized form of '' Mac Lochlainn'', a masculine surname of Irish origin. The feminine form of the surname is ''Nic Lochlainn''. The literal meaning of the name is "son of '' Lochlann''". Note that ''Mc'' is simply a contraction of ''Mac'', which is also (albeit rarely) truncated to ''M' ''. Thus, ''MacLaughlin'', ''McLaughlin'' and ''M'Laughlin'' are the same Anglicism, the latter two merely contractions of the first. The original surname Mac/Nic Lochlainn was borne by a family of Cenél nEógain, a branch of the historic northern O'Neill dynasty, reputedly founded by Niall Noígíallach. This family expanded across the North Channel into Scotland, where it became the Clan MacLachlan. M(a)cLaughlin is sometimes used as a modern form of ''O'Melaghlin''/''Melaghlin'', which is more commonly modernised ''McLoughlin'', ''M'Loughlin'', and ''O'Loughlin'' (among other spellings). O'Melaghlin was a phonetic rendering into Anglo-Norman and Middle ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Northern Uí Néill
The Northern Uí Néill is any of several dynasties in north-western medieval Ireland that claimed descent from a common ancestor, Niall of the Nine Hostages. Other dynasties in central and eastern Ireland who also claimed descent from Niall were termed the Southern Uí Néill (together they are known as the Uí Néill dynasty). The dynasties of the Northern Uí Néill were the Cenél Conaill and Cenél nEógain, named after the two most powerful sons of Niall: Conall and Eógain. The Northern Uí Néill's over-kingdom in its earliest days was known as In Fochla and In Tuaiscert, both meaning "the North", and was initially ruled by the Cenél Conaill.
