* O’LENNON, LINNANE, Leonard, (Linnegar, MacAlinion).
The normal form of Lennon in Irish is Ó Leannáin, or Ó Lionnáin, but confusion arises because these Gaelic names have been anglicized Leonard and Linnane, while the Irish surnames Ó Lonáin (Lenane) and even Ó Luinín (Linneen) are also sometimes Lennon or Leonard in English. Of these Lennane, or Linane, belongs to the Corca Laoidhe group and was situated near Glandore Harbour. Ó Leanáin in, but not of, Hy Many, is still found in Co. Galway as Lennon, while the same name belonging also to a Hy Fiachra sept of Co. Mayo is now usually called Leonard: their position is shown on the folded map at the end of this book. Historically, O’Lennon of Fermanagh is the only Lennon sept of importance. They were erenaghs of Lisgoole near Enniskillen and produced many distinguished ecclesiastics: no less than six of them are mentioned by the Four Masters as priors or canons of Lisgoole between 1380 and 1466; while to-day the name is closely associated with the church, an unusually large proportion of persons of the name being priests. Apart from these the most noteworthy are John Lennon (1768-1846), a sailor famous for his daring feats, and John Brown Lennon (1850-1923), the American Labour leader. Ó Luinín, mentioned above, also belongs to Co. Fermanagh and is now almost indistinguishable from Ó Leannáin, except where, strangely enough, it has been anglicized Linnegar.
Leonard, itself a well-known indigenous English surname, is remarkable in Ireland for the fact that it is used as the synonym or anglicized equivalent of a greater number of quite distinct Gaelic surnames than almost any other. In addition to the three distinct sept names mentioned above, there is the royal family of Mac Giolla Fhinnéin – son of the follower of St. Finnian – also anglicized as McAlinion. From this stock come many of our Irish Leonards, at any rate those associated with West Ulster (Donegal and Fermanagh). They are descended from Giolla Fhinnéin O’Muldory, as are the once powerful family of O’Muldory whose head was chief or lord of Lough Erne. Another family which sometimes, rather strangely, anglicized their name as Leonard was that of Mac Giolla Seannáin (the saint in this case is St. Senan, not St. Finnian) this name being corrupted in Irish to Maguinnseanáin and usually anglicized as Nugent. The Registrar-General’s returns show that, in addition to the foregoing, Lenaghan and even Nanany are found as synonymous with Leonard in English.
No person of the name Leonard has distinguished himself in the political, military or cultural life of Ireland (or for that matter in England either).
Oh yeh?
John Lennon
