Muldoon 26 June 1969
Muldoon ( ga, Ó Maoldúin) is an Irish family name. It is represented throughout the world where descendants of emigrants of people bearing that name have settled; e.g. U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and other countries. ''Muldoon'' is an anglicisation of the Irish surname ''Ó Maoldúin'', meaning "descendant of the disciple of St. Dúin". It first appears in the ''Lebor na hUidre'' or the ''Book of the Dun Cow''. Another Máel Dúin was one of the Kings from Mag Rath in ''Dál Riata'', a Gaelic 'kingdom' that covered parts of north-eastern Ulster and south-western Scotland (see List of the kings of Dál Riata), Máel Dúin mac Conaill (died c. 689). According to ''The Surnames of Ireland'' by Edward MacLysaght, there are three distinct septs of Muldoon: Galway (around ''Uí Maine''), Clare (whose names were generally Anglicised to Malone), and in Co. Fermanagh where the name is most common. The family motto is , Latin for "For Faith and Country". Famous ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

From the 9th century, small numbers of Vikings settled in Ireland, becoming the Norse-Gaels.

Today, Ireland is made up of the Republic of Ireland (officially called Ireland) and Northern Ireland (a part of the United Kingdom).
