    I'm American born to an immigrant Irish mother from Co Wexford. Her maiden name was Whitty. She has traced her family roots back over a thousand years. The name was Norse, DeWhitt angolsised in the time of Cromwell to Whitty. So I might suggest that a lot more Irish surnames were originally Norse to begin with.

      They didn’t do it to even close to the same scale as the English and even then, the viking were overall not as cruel as the English were. English carried out mass genocides and took control of 25% of all land or surface area on Earth. What viking did was undeniably terrible and have other things like Greenland, but the English wiped out countless cultures off the face of the Earth. To this day, England also exerts such control all over the entire world. The only thing vikings still really have that is even close would be Denmark’s continued control of Greenland and maybe certain past material wealth and continued political influences. Every place has done horrors in some way, but few were as bad as what England did.

      Son of Norway is actually a modern translation of another translations so its not entirely correct, it mean land of the lakes (fjord land) unfortunately lochlainn was also the word used sometimes to describe Scotland, this has led to some confusion, although recent DNA results have prove there is at least a Norse branch of the name.

    My ancestors name is Melkorka, she was taken from Ireland an Irish princess, quite a fascinating story. In fact, while the males in my country have a predominantly Norse gene pool the women are predominantly of Irish genetics. She was very clever and is in fact a mother of great warriors and other intriguing persons in our history. I believe her clan was or became known as the O’Neil’s.

      @mokuraipower3835 11 месяцев назад +2

      Hi, Might I suggest you find a straight-line female from Melkorka and have her tested for her Full Sequence mtDNA? Only do it when there is a Special on, like when it is Christmas and the prices are brought right down from normal. And if it proves to be the Norse gene perhaps try for the Warrior Gene. I hesitate about mentioning the Warrior gene as not many people get it. I have it but it simply is not a male gene, meaning I got mine from my mother. You mention a Norse gene and Irish genetics and so if you know which is which I would love to hear which of them is which. My Full Sequence MtDNA is U5b2b2 but to date I have only two or three people who are off mine, by one mutation. Of course I would love an exact match but all my girl 1st cousins are far and few left now. My Y-DNA is I1a3a1 haplogroup and each of us who have done their Big Y-700 are that, but are placed in groups according to their Terminal SNP of whatever they are in. i.e. I am BY151919. Got one match to date and he is an American guy. 😀

      Lateral Flow Antigen Test cannot identify a Virus.
      All Lateral Flow Antigen Test results are invalid.
      The only way to identify an individual Virus is a Spectroscopy Test.
      However as the SARS-CoV-2 Virus has not been isolated anywhere in the world there is nothing to compare the Swab Test sample too.
      Thus pointless having a Spectroscopy Test.

      Mulholland is certainly an anglocised Gaelic-Irish surname. It is neither Viking nor Norman. It is not a primary or secondary Gaelic sept, but nevertheless has its roots in Gaelic Ulster. It probably originates in Armagh. You should be most proud to have Gaelic and Armagh ancestry. The Gaels of Armagh never gave an inch to any foreigner. In modern times, they were the lynchpins of the IRA in Ulster and before that the Fenian movement. The English were always terrified of south Armagh. The British Army could only travel by air in south Armagh, and even then not without risk. Back in Tudor times, the English were most susceptible to assault in the area. Consider the Battle of Yellow Ford in 1598.

    Driving the Vikings out of Scotland did not mean that they cleared out people based on their race. What happened was that the Gaelic language community asserted itself and fought a campaign to force everyone to either use Gaelic and to follow Gaelic ways; or to leave and go to Iceland. At the end of the conflict those who wanted to speak Norse all went to Iceland to which they carried a lot of Gaelic DNA, but not the language. And in parallel, there were many who stayed who carried Norse DNA, and names as well. Those mixed people, speaking Gaelic and following Gaelic ways, but with swift ships of Viking style were the Gall-Gaidheil. They spawned a warlike cast of professional soldiers in both Scotland and Ireland and provided a bulwark against the English for hundreds of years.

      To add to the Sugrue name they were also predominant in County Cork also, from what If been told from my Elders the name means the Red Hawks, and they were associated with the Royal house of Denmark, not so much Norway. It's a remote possibility they were also Black Irish. Having fled the Inquisitions of Spain and Portugal. I'm not sure if that is from Sugrue or the Findlay's. As my Great Grandmother Johanna Sugrue. was brought to New Zealand with Her Aunty, And Her father went to San Francisco with his nephew. I'm sure there's some strange Irish logic there.

Your "Elders" were bullsh*tting you. DNA research on the Sugrue name proves this. Finally, there is no such thing as "Black Irish". This was a derogatory name given to Irish working in the fields as they sometimes appeared to have darker skin due to the sun and work practices.

You find the name a lot in Cork as a first name (O'Sullivans in particular). But the fostering idea I like as well!

    Despite the predations of the Norsemen, it was Ireland that kept alive the candle that was Christianity in the west of Europe and the British Isles in particular during what we now call the dark ages. It was also Ireland that sent the likes of Columba to spread the word to a largely pagan mainland in what we now call England, Scotland and Wales, although those countries didn't exist then.

    Waring between English kings and Irish kings was also going on at this time.
    My present surname is Morris and has an Irish connection to the McMorris people of west coast Ireland but the name itself derives from North Africa. I was glad to have discovered this because the pathway, if you trace it back, is a truly amazing pathway. West up through Spain and the Iberian Peninsula into France then on into Britain. Or east up through Sicily, Italy, France, and then into Britain.
    Perhaps a little more romantic a pathway than simply coming here directly from Northern France.

      Anyone have any idea about its true etymology?

    Hi, our surname is from a Viking origin, via Orkney. Norse. We are literally the last in the line with the surname FEA, in the UK. In a viking context I read once it translates as Foe, but if you have any knowledge resources or signposts for Scotland, I would love to know. I love your channel, thanks

      The island was only ever "centralised" or geographically united under British rule and then only for a relatively short period. I say "geographically united" because it never has been united in any full sense of the word and I don't believe it ever can be. Republicans have colonial ambitions to see the island ruled by one parliament in Dublin but that "nation" would be united in name only and would be subjected to a lengthy and costly period of internal violence

    My partner was convinced she had Irish or Welsh ancestry and was able to trace her family history to the mid 16th century without either appearing.
    Turned out that the first time the name Price was recorded was in the late 13th century and it was In England but can't remember where.
    In fact many names you associate with Ireland or Wales first appear in England hundreds of years before those anglicized names first appear in Ireland or Wales in the 16th century. Her ma's name is jones so bound to be Welsh she thought, but nope it turns out J isn't even in the Welsh alphabet and first appeared in England with matilda Jones in the 13th century also.
    My own name is a complicated one also as when I look it up I see it to be Welsh, Irish but very rarely see it referred as English even though it is first recorded in England with Thomas Hughes of Somerset in 1327.
    Now I'm pretty sure my name is the anglicized version of ó hAodha as my Dad is very much Irish and born in Kilkenny.
    Many people have no idea of the true origins of these names as there are so many inaccuracies on these websites.
    Wiki says the Region of origin of Hughes is Wales, Ireland, France and Scotland without mentioning England?
    Is this a deliberate deletion do you think?
