KEELAN Family History
This ancient and honourable surname recorded in several forms including O'Callaghan, Callaghan, Kealaghan, Kealan, and Keelan, is of Irish and royal origins. Originally spelt as O'Ceallachan, it was composed of the elements O' meaning descendant of, and Ceallachan, a diminutive of the personal name Ceallach, meaning 'strife'. As such the name was borne by a 10th Century King of Munster, from whom many present day bearers of the surname claim descent. Dispossessed of their original territory in the barony of Kinelea, County Cork, after the Anglo-Norman invasion of 1170, they acquired large holdings near the town of Mallow, also in County Cork, and retained them until again dispossessed under the Cromwellian regime of 1651 - 1660...Select Audience
