Explanatory Note: Irish names are often proceeded by Mc or Mac (both meaning 'son of'),
O (meaning 'of' or 'grandson of'), Ni or Nic (both meaning 'daughter of').
Names of variant spellings generally have the same root clan
and coat of arms as their origin. For example: O'Mahoney, Mahoney, Mahanay, Mahonay,
McMahoney, etc. all derive from the same root name Mahoney and where this name is
most commonly found with a prefix (O or Mac, etc.) it is shown in the Gallery as such.
Example: Ahearne and Ahearn derive from the same root. Example: Redmond,
MacRedmond, O'Redmond, NiRedmond and McRedmond all derive from the same root.
