From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
McMahon or MacMahon (
mək-MAN or
mək-MAHN ;
older
Irish orthography: Mac Mathghamhna ; reformed Irish orthography: Mac Mathúna ; meaning "son of the
bear ")
[1] is an Irish surname.
The surname came into use around the 11th century by two different Irish
clans : The
MacMahons of Thomond , a sept of the
Dál gCais , and the
MacMahons of Oriel , rulers of
Airgíalla . Additionally, a separate McMahon family in
County Fermanagh is descended from Mahon Maguire, a grandson of Donn Carrach Maguire.
[2] According to historian C. Thomas Cairney, the MacMahons were one of the chiefly families of the
Dal gCais or
Dalcassians who were a tribe of the
Erainn who were the second wave of Celts to settle in
Ireland between about 500 and 100
BC .
