Ryan (surname)
Ryan (Irish: ''Ó Riain'') is a common surname of Irish origin, as well as being a common given name in the English-speaking world. Origins and meaning There are several different origins for the surname. In some cases it may be a shortened form of ''O'Ryan'', which is an Anglicized adaptation of the Gaelic surname ''Ó Riain'', meaning "descendant of ''Rian''". It can also be a shortened form of ''Mulryan'' or ''O'Mulryan'', which are derived from the Gaelic ''Ó Maoilriain'', meaning "descendant of the follower of ''Rian''". The meaning of the Old Irish name ''Rian'' is unknown. Some sources have suggested that it is related to the Old Irish word ''rían'', meaning "water" or "ocean".

Surname
In some cultures, a surname, family name, or last name is the portion of one's personal name that indicates one's family, tribe or community. Practices vary by culture. The family name may be placed at either the start of a person's full name, as the forename, or at the end; the number of surnames given to an individual also varies. As the surname indicates genetic inheritance, all members of a family unit may have identical surnames or there may be variations; for example, a woman might marry and have a child, but later remarry and have another child by a different father, and as such both children could have different surnames. It is common to see two or more words in a surname, such as in compound surnames. Compound surnames can be composed of separate names, such as in traditional Spanish culture, they can be hyphenated together, or may contain prefixes. Using names has been documented in even the oldest historical records. Examples of surnames are documented in the 11th ...
