Customes of the Ua Maine[edit]

Nosa Ua Maine, lists the ‘vassal kings, royal governors’ of Ui Mhaine as:

Is iad so lucht cóimíicca1 Chlainni Ceallaig: h-I Duibgind, ocus h-I Geibendaig, ocus Mé Cathail, ocus Meg Floind, ocus Muinter Murchadan; ocus Cland Aedagáan, no cur druideadur re h-Ollamnacht an aird-righ.

from O'Donovan's "The Tribes and Customs of Hy-Many, commonly called O'Kelly's Country", which is a copy from the Book of Lecan and not the Book of Ui Maine, which he did not have access to.

O'Donovan note on the Muinter Murchadan, reads:

"i.e. the descendant of Murchadhan, who was prince of Hy-Many, and died in the year 936. The Editor could not find this name in Hy-Many, and suspects that it was anglicised to Murphy."

Fr Woulfe in his "Irish Names and Surnames", records:

"O Murchain-I-O Murchan, O Morghane, O Moraghan, Morahan, Morohan, Murchan, Morkan, Murkin (Morgan), Morran, Morrin, (Moran); 'descendant of Murchadhan' (diminutive of Murchadh, sea-warrior); the name (1) of an Offaly family ...; and (2) of a family of Ui Maine in Connacht. ... ." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:5C0:8300:21E0:304D:1654:B678:7D2B (talk) 14:18, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
