O'Neill (surname)
O'Neill is an Irish surname derived from the Gaelic ''Ó Néill'' meaning "descendant of Niall". The Uí Néill dynasty were the foremost dynasty of Ulster, and all Ireland, from the 5th century throughout the medieval period, until the Flight of the Earls in 1607 which saw the end of Gaelic Ireland. ''O'Neill'' is one of the most common Irish surnames. Origins The surname O'Neill is an Anglicization of the original Irish ''Ua Néill'', composed of the elements ''ua'', meaning "grandson" or "descendant," and of the Irish name ''Niall''. Niall is a male given name of Irish origin, to mean "champion" (derived from the Old Irish word niadh meaning warrior or champion).

It is due to the Anglicization of the original Irish that the several spelling variations have emerged, during the tra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Members of some of these families still own land and live in the same broad locations. Locality Significant kingdoms known from early historical times (2nd–7th centuries) included Eóganachta, Corcu Loígde, Connachta, Uí Fiachrach, Breifne, Aileach, Airgíalla, Dál Riata, Ultonia, Brega, Mide, Laigin, Osraige, Laois, Muma, Iarmuman, Desmumu, Tuadmumu, Hy Many.

In the period when the institution of high kingship existed, Ireland did not conduct much formal international diplomac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
