    I have an ancestor who came over to the US during the Famine in Ireland. Her last name was Kilgareth on the document when she got married to her husband, who also was Irish. However, she later changed her last name to the anglicized version of Garvey, which I learned is from origins of Ó Gairbheith. How would it have gotten to "Kilgareth" from Ó Gairbheith? Irish names confuse me.

    Very interesting info!! Both my paternal grandmother maiden name Brown and her mother was a Murphy and my grandfather surname Townsend and mother's maiden name Marshall, as far as my father knew both sides of his family emigrated from the County Cork area of Ireland to the Eastern Shore of Maryland in the US before the Civil War in the US which was from 1861-65 as his Townsend grandfather was a veteran of that War. Having had my Ancestry DNA done 50% is Italian attributed to both my maternal grandparents were Italian immigrants, and paternal came back nearly equal in % of Irish, British Isles, followed by German. The German coming up was quite a surprise!! Possibly the only pure Irish I can claim is marrying a Dolan and taking on my now late husband's surname which both his parent's Irish lineage traces to the Irish emigration to Boston during the potato famine. Unlike my husband's family which were strict Catholics, my Irish family were Methodist Protestants which my father believed his family brought this religion with they emigrated and did not adopt it in the US.

    If they were protestant then they weren't Irish in the strict ethnic sense. A common mistake many Americans make: claiming Irish ancestry when they were in fact Ulster-Scots protestants. That is, 'Planters' from Scotland and northern England who were 'settled' in northern Ireland. They didn't mix or mingle with the native Irish catholics and were in fact hostile and suspicious of each other (see the Troubles). They would not have considered themselves Irish.

    @leodesiefast Both arguments have many of the same problems when we try to simplify history down binary lines, Many of those from a "Protestant" backround did and still do consider themselves Irish on the entire Island, regardless of the state documents calling individuals and communities "Irish" and the continuation of the Irish Parliament, I mean what do people think they referred to themselves in the 198 years between England's conquest of Ireland in 1603 and the act of Union in 1801. We should be careful. simplifying history is what creates things like the troubles

    Interesting video, thanks! It certainly does make untangling surname origin for anyone in Britain and Ireland potentially more difficult! I am English but my mother is of Irish ancestry with the name Gallagher. I don't know if that name had an older traditional Irish spelling? I guess it probably was Anglicised to a degree. So, anyone with, let's say, the surname Smith (a very common name from an English word of trade/profession) could be purely English, purely Scots, early Norman/English settlers in Ireland (the Pale), later English/Scots planters in Ulster, or native Irish who Anglicised their name...either by choice or by decree....! Certainly makes genealogy a bit trickier! I think the original Gaelic Irish names/spellings look cooler. Cheers!

    I was told my family name RICE had the root OMAOLCRAOBHE but this is the first time I've seen it spelled like O' MAOL-CRAOBHE. I was told it means/meant something like "bald branch" or something originally but to the English overlords (or whatever) the Gaelic voicing sounded like how we say Rice. Supposedly, it was a family or clan that was part of the O'Neil crew around Armagh! Sorry if I'm butchering the terms, I mean no disrespect. Anyway, what's the best literal translation of O' MAOL-CRAOBHE? Great video BTW!

    You'll find a lot more Irish surnames that originate from England than vice versa. The reason is very simple - surnames became the norm in England long before they were widely used in Ireland. If it's any compensation - most "English" surnames came from France.

    I see that the Irish apparently adopted surnames before the English. The first officially recognized English surname was in 1267, exactly a century before the Statutes of Kilkenny first began to reorder and anglicize Irish naming practice. So it is possible many or most Englishmen had not yet adopted surnames when their government began to change Irish surnames!

    I am afraid that is unlikely the myth of Cú Chulainn is set in the classical era 500 BC to 500 AD if he ever existed this well before the implementation of surnames in Ireland the oldest surnames in Ireland is debated between a few including the O'Canáin and O'Cleary which have links to the early 9th/10th century with most Irish surname coming from the 11/12th century, the Keaney of Ulster will have multiple origins including from Mac Cearnaigh, also from cearnach; they claim they were part of the Cenel Eoghain, the large group of families descended from Eoghan, son of Niall of the Nine Hostages, the claimed fifth-century monarch who founded the Ui Neill. dynasty

    How do you account for Irish lords such as Edmund O'Brien (Baron Inchiquin, descended from Brian Boru himself) of Co Claire who were royalists and supported the cause of King Charles and King Charles II? Col John Fiztgerald was even from a Catholic family and went on to be very high in the military of King Charles and was with him in exile (and later supported Charles II).

You are portraying that folks had to change their surnames and what not (granted I guess you were talking about 1300 or something) but here we have all these royalist Irish, many of whom were not Old English and who had old Irish surnames and titles who were quite chummy with the English peerage without any name change whatever.

Still, I sense in your video and many others' videos on Ireland, Wales and Scotland a propensity to speak in terms of nicely discreet groups whereas the sense I get is that things were more messy and it was more of a priomordial soup with a high degree of entropy there on the isles. And I think this is born out by DNA haplogroups. Things seems ro have been very dynamic rather than static. But no disrespect intended. Just my random impression.

    It has to be remembered that the majority of Irish people carrying an English or Norman surname will actually be of native Irish stock. The Anglo-Norman takeover of Ireland mirrored that of the one in Scotland: Clan chiefs and their close followers were dispossed of their lands in favour of an Anglo-Norman or a Breton and either exiled, murdered or outlawed, and the rank and file clan members were reduced to vassal status to the new lord, subsequently adopting his surname. My own great, great grandmother on my Dad's side was a Power (from the Norman surname Pouer) from Cork, the descendent of the unfortunate souls from the O'Donovan clan that were left stranded when the area of land in which they lived was snatched.

    Ireland is not part of the British Isles - This is an antiquated British colonial term and ceased to apply to Ireland once the Act of Union ended in 1922 with the then creation of the Irish Free State ( Republic of, in 1949) The term is not used at an official State level by either the Irish or UK governments or at E.U. level due to the offensive nature of the term for for Irish Citizens. As it implies that Ireland is British. Ireland was never British. The view is held that this term British Isles is controversial in Ireland, where there are objections to its usage due to the association of the word British with Ireland. The Government of Ireland does not recognize or use the term and its embassy in London discourages its use. As a result, Britain and Ireland is used as an alternative description, and Atlantic Archipelago has had limited use among academics. Also in use is the acronym IONA which stands for the Islands of the North Atlantic. The term Celtic Isles was also considered, however because England is not Celtic but rather, Saxon, this term has not been used. They are also sometimes referred to as these islands. Or The British Isles and Ireland. You will not here mention of the term in Irish schools during geography or history lessons. You will never here a person use the term, The term however, is used on the UK among a very post-colonial insensitive ignorant populace, whom don't even see Ireland as a foreign country. The truth being, Canada, New Zealand, Australia are more British than Ireland could ever be, seeing as they are all members of the British Commonwealth with a British Monarch as the Head of their States. The British need to realize that their Empire is long over. Unfortunately their colonialist language still exists. Ireland is not a part of the Isles (no matter what you British or Anglo Irish seem to think) Mumbai is the capital of India, not Bombay, Myanmar is the name of the country in Asia, Burma. When you are wrong, it doesn't matter how many times you say it or how strongly you believe it - Your still wrong, and if corrected, you still revert to your original understanding, well then this is pure ignorance and false belief. British Isles has no official status.

    @@cathalodiubhain5739 The term British isles is far older than the British Empire in fact it goes way back to the 1st century Greek historian Diodorus Siculus and refers to the 6,000 islands that together are known as the British isles.The largest or greatest in size of these islands is therefore known as Great Britain, which again has nothing to do with Empire. When the Scottish King James became king of England as well he then began to style himself the King of Great Britain ie the King of the whole larger island. Later when the British formed a world Empire it was of course known as the British Empire. However, the British Empire hasn't existed for 100years so why you keep referring to a long dead Empire, god only knows. Do you you still refer to the Carthagiania, Roman or Spanish Empires with such malice ? Men invented names for everything, and they can also change them, but these Isles were British long before the Scots, English or Welsh or indeed the Irish, and I dare say most people with continue to call them by that ancient name. Also all the peoples of the British Isles have Celtic roots, including the English whose DNA is 90% Celtic across the whole country except in East Anglia where even there it is still 68% Celtic. The Southern Welsh and Southern Scottish as well as the Majority of the English have only 10% Anglosaxon DNA, so 90% celtic. Therefore, we are all one people across these islands whatever ignorant racist and bigotted nationalists like to claim, dna doesn't lie !

    My maternal grandfather' surname was Mayo...... descended from De Mayeaux and the Normans. Mayo Co is probably a hangover from the Norman conquest of Ireland.

    Hey, it's both an English and Scottish surname, DNA would probably answer which one descend from, we have lowland Scottish family often give the name "Clan" Straiton but translated more recently as Stratton who will have descendents arriving in the Plantations of Ulster but we also know the Strattons of England have been in Ireland since the 13th century with many unrelated branch's coming into Ireland right up until Cromwells invasion in the mid 17th century.

    Looks like a contraction of a name that has been anglicised phonetically still at least your family kept as close to the original as they could some weren't so lucky, there are alot of Smiths and Browns out there who will only be able to rely on DNA to see which lines they orginally descend from.
