 | This is a KEELAN Family Crest. Many names have more than one coat of arms and because Coats of Arms are granted to individuals not everyone who bears this name is necessarily entitled to this crest. 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. At this time the leading family of the clan were transplanted to County Clare, although in the other spellings such as Kealaghan and Keelan, it is more popular in the counties such as Westmeath and Roscommon, an example being Wiliam Keelan whose daughter Mary, was christened at Ballineen, County Roscommon, on January 23rd 1865. . There have been a number of distinguished holders of the name including Father Richard Callaghan (1738 - 1807), the Jesuit educationalist; and the famous Victorian engineer Sir Francis O' Callaghan (1839 - 1909). In the United Kingdom James Callaghan, born in Wales, was Prime Minster and leader of the Labour Party in 1976 - 1979.Read more: http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Keelan#ixzz33ws9aUuP | William Keelan (born year) | |
