IN.TRODUCTION. "What's in a name?" Such was the question put in the mouth of one of his characters by the Great Poet, and he adds as argument, that it is of no consequence. "A rose by any other name woulr smell as sweet." On the other side we have l:he old adage : "Give a dog a bad name and you might as well hang him." Man has, from the remotest times, . endeavored to preserve his genealogy and the origin of surnames, without any doubt among the Irish, took its rise from its convenience, as an aid to such a desire. Names in most countries were adopted among the lower orders, from a trade, a color, or occupation of some ki.nd; among the aristocracy, from the estate or place, they took their title from. Whereas, in Innisfail the Island of Destiny, names were adopted in accordance with a use1ge that was much more enobling in its effects. Our Mile­ sian surnames were assumed to perpetuate the remembrance of.some noble ancestor, who by his conduct in war, either by land or sea, or in some other sphere, had acquired eminence. There is nothing acci­ dental in the origin of Irish names, or if there is, an · Irishman may be permitted to say it is accidentally on purpose. Here we may be al­ lowed to observe that the growing tendency in this country to alter, shorten or change the orthography of our Irish names is a pity as it defeats the very end of the adoption of such names; and though some may even seek to disguise and unhirbernicise their surnames, they do not succeed as "The scent of the roses hangs around them still." and they only get laughed at for their pains, by all sensible people. Irishmen, keep to the time-honored O and Mac the password that proves you to come of the ancient Milesian race. CHAPTER I. On Surnames. The most ancient surname we have is Neil, in the first generation, McNeil in the second, and O'Neil in the third; the prefix Mac ·meaning son of, and 0, grand son of. This name carries its de­ rivation far into the past, as it is seen to be the name of the second son of Fenius Farsa, King 'of Scythia, who was the ancestor of Milesius, King of Spain, whose sons and nephew colonized Ireland. Gallamn 6 was the Scythian name of Milesius, Mileag Espaine or Hispania, short­ ened into Milesius (the Spanish soldier), is the Latin name and the common name used by his posterity and historians for that gallant sol­ dier and great General. Next we have another Nial, one of the ancestors of The Hy Nial tribe figuring in the descent on Ireland, made by the sons of Milesius. This Nial was one of the prince1;1 with Heremon the eighth son of Mi­ Jesius, who landed on the north east coast of Ireland. As the expedi­ tion was approaching land, the proclamation was made, that whoever first reached or touched the shore should possess it. As he stood by the bulwark of the vessel, his left hand resting thereon, his battle­ axe in his ri'ght, he suddenly raised the latter and severed his left hand from the ann, dropping the battle-axe, he seized the sinister hand with his dexter and cast it ashore, claiming the reward offered in the proc­ lamation. His descendants afterwards exercised sovereignty over the north of Ireland, and the northern Eoganachts were introduced into the south about A. D. 550. These were a branch of the Hy Nial Tribe being the descendants of Eogan son of Nial Noy Giollach or Nial of the nine Hostages, who was King of Ireland A. D. 379, and from whose time the name Niel was a permanent patronymic. The same fortitude and devotion to the interests

  • The Origins and Expansion of the O'shea Clan
    The Origins and Expansion of the O’Shea Clan At the beginning of the second millennium in the High Kingship of Brian Boru, there were three distinct races or petty kingdoms in what is now the County of Kerry. In the north along the Shannon estuary lived the most ancient of these known as the Ciarraige, reputed to be descendants of the Picts, who may have preceded the first Celts to settle in Ireland. On either side of Dingle Bay and inland eastwards lived the Corcu Duibne1 descended from possibly the first wave of Celtic immigration called the Fir Bolg and also referred to as Iverni or Erainn. The common explanation of Fir Bolg is ‘Bag Men’ so called as they allegedly exported Irish earth in bags to spread around Greek cities as protection against snakes! However as bolg in Irish means stomach, generations of Irish school children referred to them gleefully as ‘Fat bellies’ or worse. Legend has it that these Fir Bolg, as we will see possibly the ancestors of the O’Shea clan, landed in Cork. Reputedly small, dark and boorish they settled in Cork and Kerry and were the authors of the great Red Branch group of sagas and the builders of great stone fortresses around the seacoasts of Kerry. Finally around Killarney and south of it lived the Eoganacht Locha Lein, descendants of a later Celtic visitation called Goidels or Gaels. Present Kerry boundary (3) (2) (1) The territories of the people of the Corcu Duibne with subsequent sept strongholds; (1) O’Sheas (2) O’Falveys (3) O’Connells The Corcu Duibne were recognised as a distinct race by the fifth or sixth century AD.

When I was between seventeen and eighteen years of age, I was initiated into the Irish Republican Brotherhood Bonar Donegal who by Richard of town, was teaching in the Glen School, Maghera, Co. Derry. At that time I met Bulmer Hobson who was in Maghera organising a campaign in opposition to the recruiting campaign for the British Army. The Inniskilling Fusiliers, who had lately returned from the Boer War, were carrying out route marches through Antrim to and Tyrone for Co. Derry/ in an effort to obtain recruits the British Army. Their headquarters were at Omagh and they also had a Battalion in Derry. An uncle of mine, Bernard Devlin, was associated with the anti-recruiting campaign. Bonner and Devlin got posters displayed which called on all persons who called themselves Irish men or Irish women not to visit the field where the British troops were camped. About a year after that, Master Bonar was; dismissed from his school. This would be about 1901 or 1902.
