Coakley.-In the district of Bandon and other parts of South Cork Coakley is the anglicised form of l\lac Caochlaoich (Kehelly) and it is likewise synonymous with Keily and Kehilly in the districts about Dungarvan, Co. Waterford Campbell.-'l'his name is both of Irish and Scottish origin in Ulster. 'l'he Scottish surname as it stands at present is merely a sobriquet derived from Cam, ·~.rry, or crooked; and bcul, mouth; hence Caimbeul. The original name of the clan Campbell was 0 'Duibhne, and its ancient clan name was Siol Diarmuid, or more fully Siol Diarmuid 0 'Duibhne, the hero of the Fenian Cycle, who killed the boar, and which animal the Campbells still retain on their coat of arms. The 0 'Duibhnes were Lords of Lochawe for several centuries since the time their an- ' cestors cnme from Ireland, very probably soon after the fall of the Fianna Eireann. Coming to Scotland before the time of the Fergus Mac Ere incursion, Sir Paul 0 'Duibhne wns Lord ·of Lochawe in the time of Malcolm, King of Scotland, and was known also as Paul an Sporran, or' Paul of the Purse, being Treasurer to that king. Gillespie 0 'Duibhne, or Archibald 0 'Duibhne (See Archibald) as he was known by, who married the heiress of Sir Paul 0 'Duibhne, was the firs.t to assume the name of Campbell, whose name appears on the Exchequer Rolls as holding lands in Menstrie and Sanchie, in Stirling county, in 1216. Colin Mor, the sixth in descent from Gillespie, was the founder of the ''Mac .Caillian l\ror, '' the junior branch of the clan, and the origin of the surname, McCallion, which I'll refer to later. As to the name 0 'Duibhne, Carswell, tho author of the Gaelic version of the Book of Common Prayer, dedicated that work to the LoTd of Argyle, about the commencement of the seventeenth century, whose name was Gillespie 0 'Duibhne, so according to that the clan chiefs had retained the ancient name down to that period. Since that time we find no record of 0 'Duibhnc being in use. McArthur was the senior ruling branch clown to ~fac Caillcnn Mor.
