I know there another 100 names left out and this article has great information about the families included but I'm married to a Lynch from county Cork and Galway with Lynch Castle and ,of course, "lynching" that was named for the judge who hung his own son is a terrible oversight!!!

George Dillon, They are just talk about tradition Irish names many of them from Irish language not from Polish, Chinese or African language. Irish not Polish, or Chinese or Swahili etc is the 1st official language of Ireland and English the other one according to the Constitution of Ireland.

Where's Patel in that list? And Chun? And how about Jazyzcevski? And there's no mBongo? These are the up and coming names in the new Ireland.
