The top 100 Irish last names explained

Murphy is the most numerous Irish Surname. McCarthy is the most numerous of the Mc's. Hope this little piece of info is helpful. My friends and I done the research in Trinity one semester. It kept us out of the pubs for a while. WE didn't have the $$$$'sanyway.

What about Mc Govern?

I was taught to love being Irish when I was born, it seems. I've never stopped, although I've often been dismayed by the grip that the church has over social progress. My father died longing to visit the auld sod and I have yet to do so myself, although my sister and her husband and one of my sons and his wife make it an every five-year ritual. If I never make it, know that I would have loved to....

ON ME

Murphy made this list, Ryan did not! WTF

The top two names in Irish are Murphy and Ryan by sheer volume. I think this list is misleading for that reason. Not many Scullys in the world either so thats why we didnt make this list so what gives. I guess fair enough you cant put everyone in the list.

why no Dunne name on the list. ancestors from clogorrow, co.kildare.

The most important O'Malley clan group from Tirawley, Co. Mayo has been omitted. Also though you do have a reference to the Leinster McMurroughs in relation to the McDavymore Redmonds of North Wexford, you make no mention of the powerful Kavanaghs/Cavanaghs. In general, McMurrough was used as a title for the Cavanagh clan chieftains rather than as a surname.

My name is obviously a "Mac Suibhne" variant, and although I prefer the pronunciation "swenny", I usually answer to almost anthing! Iterestingly, my older generation (now passed on, R.I.P.) always used the pronunciation "swinny". My reason for writingin is that you have "suibhne" as meaning "peasant", whereas I have always seen it given as "pleasant", as opposed to "duibhne", which I understand to mean "dark, or unpleasant", as in Dublin, a dark pool. I don't mean to imply that Dublin is unpleaasant, far from it - I have always found it to be a most pleasant city to visit, and would recommendit anybody.
