You can find the meaning and history of your family name on the House of Names website. Once you have done that, it is worth exploring how prevalent that name once was in Ireland, since there was quite a bit of European migration to Ireland, before families eventually moved on from there. You can search for your family on the primary property valuation survey that was taken from 1847 – 1864 on the Irish Times' Ancestor page.
