Anglicised Surnames

32 SOME ANGLICISED SURNAMES IN IRELAND. of the Barony of Turanny, Co. Armagh, chiefly in the Pa·rish of Tynan. We haven't much information about this sept previous to the Seventeenth Century, but we find it often referred to afterwards. Sir Phelim 0 'Neill was fostered by one of the 0 'Hughs sept, and Brian Boy 0 'Hughes was a principal leader of the sept at Tynan in the Rising of 1641. This sept is numerous in the Parish of Tynan, and in the adjoining Parishes of Aughaloo, Eglish, Donagh, Carntul and Derrynoose. This fourth sept claims the Red Hand, bu~ I am inclined to believe they belong to the I veagh sept. Some families in Wexford are of Welsh origin, and families in Wales are descended from the Lords of KymmerY n-Ediernion. 'l'he Welsh Hughes displays the Lion rampant, and the name is variously anglicised as Pugh, Pye, and Hews, the latter name being found in the ancient district of Strathclyde. The Welsh form is Ap'Hugh. Halfpenny.-This name in South Louth, in the district of Navan, Co. Meath, and adjoining parts, is the anglicised form of Halpin (0 'h-Ailpein). I have also seen it stated that the name wns originally of Scottish extraction in Louth, which would render it to be written Mac Ailpein, but of this I haven't seen sufficient evidence, though several Scottish Septs settled in Co. Louth at the beginning of the 17th century. Harrington.-This name is the anglicised form of Harroughton (0' h-Arrachtain) in Co. Kerry and North-Western Connacht; of 0' h-Aireachtaigh in Donegal, North Connacht, Longford, and North Munster; and of 0' h-Urdail in Co. Cork. Hand, Handy.-This name is the anglicised form of three Irish sept names. In the districts of Clones, Co. Monaghan, and in that of Tulle.- more, King's County, the names McLave and 1\f' Clave' (Mac Laimh) has been anglicised Hand, from lamh, hand. Also to Handy and Maglave, the lattrr in Gaelic Mag Laimh. In North Connacht the name Lavin (O'Laimhin) is changed to Hand, and the sept name 0 'Hand (0' h-Aodhain) or as some have anglicised it as Owens, have assumed the name of Hands. The latter sept was !orated in Co. Men th. Ingoldsby.- Mac An Gha116glaigh. See Golligly. Innes.-This name is tlie anglicised form of Mcinnes (Mac Aonghais) and is found in most parts of Scotland and Ulster.
