@@jerryholland5934what about mcnamara translates as hound of the sea in English I remember reading somewhere they could be related to vikings
Thank you Sir. Do you know where the last name Lowe comes from? Respectfully
Very interesting but hard to understand. A little more volume would be helpful
@@KimonSheriit’s German 👍🏻
I think he misses the most obvious Viking derived name of all….McLoughlin.
“Mac Loughlin” means “Son of a Viking” in Gaelic.
No it doesn't. It means" son of a foreigner" in Irish.
Close enough ! ! Ha Ha !@Veronica705
@@Veronica705
The family name Ó Lochlainn, or McLoughlin, is best translated as “descendant of Vikings.” In the Gaelic language, Lochlann refers to the “land of Fjords,” denoting the Nordic realms and the Viking kingdom.
P.S. Read ANY English-Irish Dictionary: Viking = Lochlannach.
My favorite Irish surname is MacBetch, which means son of a b*tch.
@@Veronica705 Mac = son, Lochlainn = Viking.
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.
I’m old now and from Ireland. When I was young I was blonde with blue eyes and I always felt a bit different in Ireland. Then when I traveled to ( historically ) Viking towns and areas I strangely felt at home with a lot of similar people.
I find this type of stuff super interesting because my last name is McLoughlin. I was always told it translates to “Son of the man from Norway” and that makes sense with your listing of “Loughlin” coming from Scandinavia. It’s super cool to see the intermingling of cultures that may be your ancestry that gets obscured by the time that passed.
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.
How are
You
Bro. I found out my last name translates to Son of Niall. Most of us, including you can trace our
Heritage to High King Niall. They called him King Niall of the
9
Hostages. He was king around the 800’s. It is rumored that he
Took St. Patrick hostage when St. Patrick was a kid.
@@williammcgrail9889 wise up you mug... im son of Egra Sligo who was the cousin to the king of cork thousand years ago or clan was split by the brits half stayed in sligo the other half forced to move to Co. Antrim Ulster, there is a reason my second name rhymes with Tara as in the hill of Tara where high kings of Ireland were crowned our clan were the protectors of Tara (Tara is still their, jobs done)... you talk bullshit there was 3 mean clans in Ulster yea o neill was the biggest but they didnt even control all of Ulster but yet everyone is some how descended of a bunch of pussies that did fa while england took Ireland, my clan was cut in half while the o neils hide in Ulster
@@relentless1989 You talk bullshit about England. They took Ireland because Irish landlords invited them to.
You wont be a coloured one tho will ye......not from the past but soon to be...it will all be gone ..
My father's name was Ronald Lloyd Poplin and he was definitely Irish/Scottish/Norse/Norman and I should add the American Appalachian area as they were some of the first Scots/Irish settlers.
That would be my maternal ancestors. Wild and crazy Scots-Irish. 😂
Not Irish. They were Protestant Irish-hating Brits who colonised Ireland and then set up the clan in America
The Protestants that moved to the US were called “billies “ after William of orange because the Appalachian region is hilly or mountainous they became known as hillbillies.

Lougheed my grandfathers name
My great great grandfather Daniel McCormick ( Catholic Irish) migrated to the west of Scotland from Ballycastle Co Antrim. I'm very interested in finding out more about where my paternal family came from and how they lived.
You should have your Y DNA done, might give some more insight to your paternal line.

Neil McCormick, my gr gr grandfather Robert McCormick emigrated from the Castle Douglas area in 1842 to Canada. Any connection?
Have always wondered about my Heritage.. I'm Irish and Naturally Blonde, which is really unusual for an Irish person. When I was on the States they maintained I had to be Scandinavian. 60 and still as Blonde as the Day I was born.
My father and 5 sisters are also blonde Irish/Canadian. But we have a small percentage of DNA that is Norway and also Sweden.
My paternal grandma said she was mostly Irish with a little English. She was a pale, freckled, redhead. Always thought red hair was common in Ireland. If not many blondes, did you see lots of gingers instead?
@@Lily_of_the_Forest the McDermotts were fair haired.
Are you actually Irish? Blonde hair is much more common than yanks typically assume...
I saw a lot of blonde haired people in Ireland when I visited. Just saying ...
My mother's maiden name was Broden. It is name that I have been unable to find in any Irish surnames books, but according to a friend of mine from Karlskrona Sweden it is a common surname in Sweden.
It’s pronounced as Broden but in Sweden I think it’s more usual to write it like Brodin
My ex husbands family name is Breeden. I wonder if it is related to Broden. We have seen Breeden, Breeden, and Breeding
BREEDON
Broden is a variant of Bradden/Breadon of Co Leitrim. 100% IRISH.
The name Brodeen in the upper midwest is numerous..
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.
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. 😀
How are the men and women of your country from different gene pools? Are Norse women only giving birth to boys and Irish women only giving birth to girls? Can you explain this to me please?
The oneils were a strong clan so the oneils were of strong heart.
@mokuraipower3835 , interesting information! My MtDNA Haplogroup is: U5b2a1. Genealogy and genetics really fascinates me. If it's not too much to ask, would you mind sharing what company/companies you did your dna tests through? I did mine first using 23andme. Then within a year of that I did one through Ancestry DNA. If you used more than 1 company did you notice any difference between one vs the other? For me I got different ethnicities results from each one.
K9@@mokuraipower3835
I found that fascinating. I've subscribed and look forward to watching more .
I love the history and lore surrounding Vikings and Celts. I have always felt an affinity to both. With a maiden name of Donnelly and a married name if McGeown and parents from both Dcotland and Ireland my genealogy is all over
Some good surnames there i hope to cover those in the future.
My mother's maiden name was donnelly. You were hardly from Cork were you? There's an entire village of donnellys in glenthaune. 60% of the surnames on the tombes in the village's graveyard are donnelly.
Do Nolan please I’d love to here something about my name.
@@Gaeisok no sorry we were from round the lough
@gingersirelandoverlanding8478 I mean that's a 20 min drive away from glenthaune, so it might be possible that an ancestor was from glenthaune.
An infectious subject matter.
I pass by the Dublin city council civic office regularly on Wood quay.
It was one of if not the best Viking finds in Europa and the powers that be built a soulless concrete snot on it. If anyone can convince me this was not an act of architectural vandalism and cultural genocide the pints are on me. Liked and subscribed.👍
There is not alot i wouldn't do for free pints but in the famous words of Meat loaf "i won't do that", We are both in agreement the total disregard for historical Sites and Finds by the Governments North and South at the moment is heart breaking, Thank you very much for the support.
It's the usual wipe the history away as it doesn't suit the agenda of what is 'Irish'

@@Clans_Dynasties Sad that you mentioned Meatloaf, without knowing he was about to pass. Maybe you're psychic.
People with no history have no future. Can you imagine people in the famous NWO having thoughts about Viking ancestors.
Cool! I’m Dutch and I know where my surname comes from (Germany). But I live in Ireland and I’m definitely going to share this video with my friends of which some have the surnames you listed, like Doran.
Great video, thank you for this!
I grew up with Per and Ib Schrader in Weymouth, Auckland New Zealand; and think I still have a mate whom I worked with back in 1985-89 with Community Based Corrections. I talked him into doing his Y-DNA and noted on the Danish Project they have a lot of his Y-DNA. Been checking for him as he has not replied lately. It's about now he would be turning 90. Oh....just dawned upon me you said Dutch, not Danish. Jack Martens used to tell me that one day part of Germany would become Danish and another year or so it would become German again....through the ages.
Amazing work as always!!
Thanks mate 😁
Fascinating. Never knew the Norse had such an impact on Ireland.
Some of the language usage in irish with everyday use is of viking descent. Languages an cultures all over the world has a variation of cultures blended into that nation. This blend of cultures in countries across the world happened because of the people of that land who traveled for barter an trade with other countries but also nations that invaded a nation such as Ireland have even words an culture theme's that come from another countries. Countries all across the world are subjected to thus through conquest an trade
Vikings founded pretty much all our major cities and made them into what they are until they were drove out the country by Brian Boru and the Irish Kings tookover. So Dublin, COrk, Limerick, Waterford and much more
NO THEY DID NOT. this video is full of errors.
@@cooldaddy2877Lol, you have no idea what you're talking about
Then you have to prove me wrong. DUBLIN, CORK, LIMERICK....al established by the native Irish and recorded in many manuscripts long before the Vikings ever set foot in Ireland. Waterford, yes, probably a Viking established town. You really need to educate yourself instead of watching Vikings on tv....which are never accurate.@@WalterEKurtz-kp2jf

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.
You know your history! Most people think that Iceland was mainly settled from Norway... but, in fact, it was mainly settled by Norse Gaels from the British Isles. Though plenty came from Norway and the other Scandinavian countries as well.
Do you know why they didn't return to Sweden?

I work with an Irish guy from Kilkenny and his surname is Martin. I looked its origins up and it is said to have arrived in Ireland from France brought over by the Normens.

Covid what is really going on?
=======================
Covid is the SARS-CoV-2 Virus
But the SARS-CoV-2 Virus has not been purified AND isolated AND genome sequenced end-to-end anywhere in the world.
Pointless having a Test Swab as there is nothing to compare the test result too.
PCR Test cannot identify a Virus.
PCR Test is testing for nucleic acid which we all have in us.
PCR Test cycled 45 times amplifies the sampe more than 1 trillion times.
PCR is a process, not a test. "PCR does not verify any disease." Kary Mullis inventor of PCR.
All PCR test results are invalid.
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.
Conclusion -- There is no SARS-CoV-2 airborne Virus.

Test Swab and Injection contain the Bio-agent.
Bio-agent is a protein that will change the DNA of every person Test Swabbed and/or Injected.
People must wake up to what the real agenda is with the airborne Virus that has not been isolated anywhere in the world!

Transhumanism -- Neural Lace
This will be the outcome of the Plandemic.
Sheeple must open their eyes.
World Economic Forum -- Great Reset
"You will own nothing and be happy"
Agenda 21 -- Depopulation
-------
Face Mask Contaminated -- Graphene
Hand Gel Contaminated - Graphene
5G signal can activate the Graphene and shred your lungs from within.
Face Mask is filling peoples lungs with Graphene.
5G is a Dual Communication Network and Weapon System.
5G signal can be focused on a defined area called Beam Forming for example the brain and/or the lungs where the Graphene will accumulate within the body.
Thus Graphene on the Test Swab and in the Injection and the Contaminated Face Mask enters the body either the brain and/or the lungs and can be activated by the 5G signal at any time.
Tragically activating the Graphene left inside the body will kill the person.
Is this all part of the Depopulation plan?
-------
-------
Pathogenic Protein Bioweapon.
Cannot provide the exact details of what it is or my comment will be auto-deleted.
Primer and Catalyst.
Pathogenic Protein Bioweapon on the Test Swab and in the Injection is the Primer.
Spike Protein in the Common Cold Virus is the Catalyst threat will activate the Pathogenic Protein Bioweapon.
Nasal Spray Contaminated With The Common Cold?
The Common Cold is one of the group of approximately 55 Coronaviruses.
When people catch the Common Cold over the autumn and winter 2021-2022 Cytokine Storm death within 28 days.
People must understand how the mRNA escapes the protective lipid once in the body, for the mRNA to attach itself to the ribosomes.
That's a rather important part.
If mRNA gets chemically damaged in any way, it can possibly tell your body to make the wrong protein.

Contact what used to be PHE with a FOI request, they will tell you they have no information on it.
It has already been stated by at least one therapy manufacturer ,Moderna, that they never received the full genome sequence of this virus and had to guess the full sequence from a data base on a computer.
Just because there is a sequence for a virus does not prove that it causing illness in people.
That is the ultimate point of isolating a virus correctly and has never been done.

Isn’t it funny how Vikings (who were colonists and slave owners) are treated with wonder, awe and admiration, whereas the Brits who did the same thing just a few hundred years later, are treated with disgust and hatred.
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.
In our own time almost every geopolitical catastrophe on the globe is the result of British colonial rapacity, brutality and arrogance.

very professional video! I am following from Southern California. I spent two weeks in Dublin with the Dublin city ramblers. My mother was olde english dating back to 1066, and some german. My father was Irish and French,

My name is Leroy Ping Singh Matinelli. A surname merchandiser told me I was a direct descendant of Irish Viking Kings and Pharoahs, Geronimo and Gengas Khan. I bought $5000 worth and brought it back to my native Japan
I'm nearly 100% sure that Matinelli is an Italian name!
Funny how lots of people (including ones who believe in reincarnation), think they descended from royalty or historically famous people. Most ancestors were just dirt farmers or peons, tossed about by war and circumstances beyond their control. We are all lucky any survived to be descended FROM!

Very informative, thank you 👍
I was told by a great aunt that the Irish part of our ancestry were a Stott from Ireland who married a Stott from Liverpool, England. We lost touch with the Stotts from Liverpool during the second World War and have never been able to get back in touch. And we have never been in touch with any Stotts from Ireland. I still wonder if any of them are still around or if they all died in the war. It is sad to lose touch with family.
DH Allen, a scholar on Newmarket/Clanawley who did a bit of work on the McAuliffes made the suggestion that Amhlaiobh Álainn might have been named after St Olafr/Olaf/Olave whose "cult" was growing in Ireland around the time. You find the name a lot in Cork as a first name (O'Sullivans in particular). But the fostering idea I like as well! Growing up in Newmarket there was always local folklore about a Danish princess being his mother, but I'd say that was some 19th century invention.
Newmarket is also a town here in Ontario, Canada ...
“Sullivan” is “Suil Amhain” in Gaelic. That means “one-eyed”.
I fail to see a connection with Olaf.
@@petergibson2318 as in you find Amhlaoibh used as a first name amongst the Uí Shúilleabháin. The surname coming from Súil Amháin is one theory, but Woulfe in Sloinnte Gaedheal is Gall and MacLysaght in Surnames of Ireland suggests it comes from Súil-dubhán which is black-eye with the (generally) masculine suffix diminutive - án. Personally I find that makes a bit more sense from the compounding of Irish words. Although black-eyed in modern Irish is dúshúileach.
There were definitely MacAuleys/McAuliffes living in County Clare in the 1800's. Friends of mine in South Australia descend from MacAuleys/McAuliffes from the Kilmaley parish of County Clare (west of Ennis).
My family is from Cork i believe , id love to go to Ireland and find out more, thank you for such an interesting video
I'm a MacAulay, live in Scotland, but I was always told my family name traced back to Olaf. Did my ancestry DNA and yep 22% Irish and 9% Norwegian, 49% Scottish and the remaining is English from my mother's side. I wish I knew more about it all, but I'm here and I've subscribed to both channels!
@mhc1 Great bit of information, thanks! History isn't my strongest subject, particularly because Scottish/British history is so rich and goes way back to (almost) the beginning of time. I just checked the details of my ancestry again and here's the full details, 30% Irish, 49% Scottish, Argyll and Bute, Outer Hebredies - Uist (we used to visit my uncle there - and Rum, then the 12% English and North Western Europe, 9% Norwegian. I'll check that History of a Nation that you mentioned, too!
Interesting fact, Scottish/British history isn’t any more rich than any other history!..
You’re just more interested in it because of vanity. We have no way of confirming a lot of history either, and from spending a few years in British education, you guys do love to ‘ministry of truth’ your history lessons. British and American history classes are more propaganda than truth and I’m not trying to offend you in saying that
I wouldn't hold it against your mother for having English roots.
@@burn1898 I don't think anyone is saying their history is more rich than any other. But it is theirs/ ours . It's natural to be interested in your own roots. For some one who thinks it's just vanity I do wonder why you stopped by.
There were definitely MacAuleys living in County Clare in the 1800's. Friends of mine in South Australia descend from MacAuleys from the Kilmaley parish of County Clare (west of Ennis).
My great grandmother from Northern county Cork’s maiden name was McAuliffe, which I was always told came from “Olaf”.
Not true - its a clan from Cork!
The Cork McAuliffes are native Irish and NOT Vikings. Yes, they take their name from a fashionable Viking personal name at the time but that's it. They are related to the equally Irish McCarthys of Cork.
My family are also McAuliffes but we are from Kerry.
AND 100% PERCENT IRISH.@@jessicamcauliffe2036
Fascinating stuff. I have Smith (Smythe) from Ireland and Thompson & Butler from Scotland in my heritage. Thank you for an informative video!
Those are all English names surely!
Check out the why an English surname may be Irish video it explains why this may not be the case
@Clans_Dynasties great thanks. So the 'name' is English in origin, but it doesn't imply that the person's origins are? That being the case and given the constant mixing of people on the British Isles you would have to really know your family history to have any certainty as to where your name is from.
Correct the names would be of English Origin, DNA is shedding more light on the history of many surnames, there are ways in which you can narrow down the possibilities of your families origins such as looking at your earliest known ancestors Location in relation to known points if interest for Irish and English lines, Religion and Wealth (i.e. whether they held land or were tenants), this obviously is based on probability.

Smythe could have come from Irish Gowan. Butler was an Irish/Norman name.
My family, McManus, comes from County Sligo. A small number of my family left Ireland in the early 1850's to go to America. Interesting video! Thank you!
I am descended from this group i believe. Hello cousin!
My mother from Sligo her dad was a Gallagher they owned the funeral business back in the 1920 and my great uncle was mayor of Sligo in 1943 ish I have a photo of him in office
I’m a MCAULIFFE in America. Descendant of Michael who emigrated from Ireland 🇮🇪 in 1835.
My grandmother was an O'Maille (O'Malley) from County Mayo. She was from Granualle O'Maille, the Irish pirate, grew up in the shadow of Croagh Patrick in Louisburgh on a farm near the Strand, where on that beach there is a Viking burial mound.

Grainne O Malley, Clare Island. They mostly only lived to 28 then. She survived being asked to London to visit Queen Elizabeth 1st. She survived that , many others weren't so lucky.

I saw my family crest, Nolan, at 3:30 but didn't see the name in the list later. I'll definitely check out your website
The coat of arms at 3:30 is just a representation of Brian Boru standardising irish surnames, Nolan is of Gaelic irish origin.
Delighted to see ‘Seaver’ on the list. The Seavers today are still mostly concentrated in North Dublin, around the plain that losers of the battle of Clontarf would have fled to.
Seaver is English and means "sea farer". It is NOT Viking.
Cheers for that mate.Good to see my lot in there
I thought you may be happy to see them, i had plenty of names to choose from but i knew you appreciate the mention.
@@Clans_Dynasties Thanks man i loved it.Put on the McAuliffe gathering site they`ll love it
Thank you so very much as always i really appreciate it
On my Mother's side, her name was Sugrue, which is on the list above as being Norse. My Father's name was McCarthy and we have traced our DNA back to the Iveragh peninsula in County Kerry which is also known as the Ring of Kerry. My paternal grandmother was actually born and raised in Ireland in County Roscommon in a tiny town called Scardaun and I actually found her original and abandoned home on a visit in the 1970's.
My great grammas is Highland Scot MacHardy
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.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. Where does this rubbish come from? Sugrue is a NATIVE IRISH GAELIC clan from Cork. It has NO VIKING connections apart from the borrowed Norse personal name. 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. They were NATIVE IRISH and not Spanish or some other made up origin.
Sugrue is 1000% IRISH NOT VIKING.
@@cooldaddy2877 I am sure my grandfather would agree with you

@@anndubose8615 I'm originally from the Chicago area and the Hayes name isn't all that uncommon. I have a buddy with that name
My grandfather from Armagh and was a blonde and blue-eyed man named Mulholland. He died long before I was born, always wondered about his family history and have not had much success in tracing it .
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.
Thanks for the showing the Bolands!

@@Clans_Dynasties People love the old vikings
There were strangers, Gall, a lot closer than Norse lands. Gall- Welsh, Kern Weahlas- Cornish. The surname of my ‘father’, Hannaford, came from Cornwall, to Ireland, and then back again with his grandfather.
Gall means any stranger. It could mean someone from 50 miles away.
A bit short but very informative, clearly a lot of research went into that, well done.
I find this very fascinating. My ancestors come from the Mongus clan. I'm surprised you didn't mention it in your video. We're huge!
Trying to trace where in Ireland my grandfather was from. Gilmore was his sur name. Very interesting video!
Lots of Gilmore's around Galway city and county
Great video subscribed ! I noticed the absence of the Kerr clan sometimes spelled ‘Carr’ which is also of Norse origin
Thank you very much!! Dont worry i haven't forgotten the Carr family i have them down for my Scottish Viking video i left them out because most of the genetic research shows and Irish or Norman link to the kerr/Carr family in ireland, i tried to avoid some Scottish families that came across during the plantations as i knew they would appear on the next video.

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
Start breeding fast.
"Fea" in Spanish (parent language of Goidellic/Gaelic language family) means "ugly girl/ugly lady/ugly woman" (whereas "Feo" means ugly dude/ugly guy/ugly man [DeFeo - Amityville horror - "Of the ugly guy"]
Ireland is not a part of the UK
Do you actual evidence via a paper trail that you came from Orkney?
Hi Carolyn, Well we know the Vikings went into the Orkneys eh. Became neighbours of the little Scottish people there .... known as the Picts, and they both lived in harmony with one another.
im from strangford lough (strong fjord) they looted nedrum monastry and stole the gold bell, its in dublin museum now
I'm literally 8 mile from Portaferry, i go to Nendrum most days with good weather looking to do a video there soon.
@@Clans_Dynasties class mate! im over the otherside of the lough you can see from portaferry!! i think the vikings used the dorneill island as a trading spot (or maybe tax collections lol) with locals in the lough
Probably both knowing them ha, id love to get on to some of the islands on the lough though i know many are privately owned.
Definitely going to start wearing glasses as I was most disappointed to realise that this wasn't a video about Viking submarines in Ireland. To be fair I was quite surprised that Vikings had submarines.....

The surname 'Bligh' as in Captain Bligh is Cornish, not English. Captain Bligh (of th infamous mutiny) himself was Cornish, not English. It is from Cornish 'bleydh', meaning wolf. Anglicised to 'Bligh'. The surname is still found in Cornwall.
The video is to show which migration group the name came to ireland with not the origins of the names.
Most people don't know that the Cornish were a seperate Kingdom of Celts, similar to Wales. Buried in Norman conquest, forgotten by "emits" and an Anglicised youth.

@@kernowforester811 Sadly, like my Irish roots, it's all being ignored, hidden and rewritten by an uncaring generation.
Stories and music are what made any with Gaelic/Celt blood special, both the music and the really old tales created magic, a sense of awe and belonging, now everything just seems so empty, tasteless and temporary.
Cornwall's biggest enemy was the big spenders moving there from London and then trying to change everything. Plus the fact that it's some of the most beautiful country in all of Britain. Everyone wants a part of it... Some just took too much.

My fathers name was an English translation of the original in Irish. When my grand father came from Cork county during the famine his parents changed the name ‘O Kiarda to Carey.
There's another distinctive VISIBLE identifying marker that's mostly found in people of a Scandinavian descent, which is why it has the nickname 'Viking syndrome'.
Its 'scientific name' is Dupuytren's contracture, and affects (mostly) the palms, causing the tendons to tighten and draw the fingers into a fist.
Nothing to do with having Viking descent but NEANDERTHAL.🤦
I have that! My ancestry is from Cork, Ireland as well as the highlands of Scotland.

Very interesting video I always enjoy Iron Age history.
I appreciate that you have supplemented your claims to DNA research as confirming the origin of the Norse or Viking influenced surnames in Ireland, by adding the researcher’s name, as Dr. Tyrone Bowes. What other research is there that supports your view of these surnames? I am very interested in following any possible leads to Viking heritage for my husband and our family …. Kind regards, Dr. Christine McKeown PhD.
Thank you for commenting, When it comes to any DNA research for my videos i would normally go to FTDNA surname projects or the Clan societies as they tend to have a registered Genealogists who will post their findings,
For example if i was search Mckeown id start here and work from this page and work my way from there,

Dr Maurice Gleeson is also someone to follow in this field.
I worked with a Woman whose last is Bergin. She has family in Dublin, and is of mixed Norse and Gaelic ancestry
Bergin is 100% Irish. Ó h-Aimheirgin in Irish and means descendant of Aimhirgin...a native Irish personal name meaning "wonderous birth"

Thank you very much I really appreciate it, i am currently reaserching the names right now, so I hope to have the video out in the near future.
I have been trying for so long to figure out who is the 'abandoned one' that we Hendricks are descended from. Or even who was Annrac or Annraic that we and our branches of Kendrick, Hannric etc descend from... Was Annraic the abandoned one? The clan has been in Wexford almost exclusively as far back as any older regards go, and they were closely entwined with the MacMurroughs, Kinsellas and Cavanghs. In fact we still live on the lands right outside Ballyanne castle in Wexford that the MacMurroughs and later the Kavanghs ruled. Yet the O'hAnnraics i.e. Hendricks were atleast some kind of Norse be it Viking or Norman... Doe they are not not traditionally see to be Norman. I don't know. Who is the abandoned one? A dark lord, a turned out Norman retainer left to serve the Leinster Gaels? Any hints would be much obliged 😂

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.
Good and interesting topic. The sound recording needs to be a bit stronger. It fails the ear at normal output level.
Your Morris migration line is very interesting and makes sense ie Moors. Apart from a bit of Irish, Scandinavian, Welsh, English and Chinese I have a smidge of Nth African. I'm sure that would be from ancient migration or possibly a drop picked up from the Moors as the Celts moved up to Ireland from Spain.
It is fascinating stuff and really makes you appreciate the fact that through all the hurly-burly humans have been through over millennia Our families are Still here!
Basically one big family
If your people are from the west coast they are either Mac Muiris of Mayo. They were Normans with NO CONNECTION to Africa. If they are from Sligo they are Ó Muiris, a variant of Irish Morrissy and NATIVE IRISH...NO CONNECTION to Africa. Where do people get such rubbish from.
@@cooldaddy2877 I think you have to go a little further back than the Iberian peninsula to discover the origin. The migrations happened from far farther south far earlier in time. There is great possibility that the name moved north through more eastern lands; southern Italy then up into France. Great subject, from a dark and swarthy perspective anyway.
My points stand. The dark and swarthy label has already been explained...and is NATIVE IRISH.@@L.M1792
Praise also, to Clans & Dynasties, for being here!
I am a descendant of Vikings. My family has been traced to about the year 900. We are majorly Swedish, but DNA shows we are also Irish. As none of the family lines I have yet discovered are known to be directly related to Ireland, I wonder if it goes back farther than the records, which the Vikings didn’t keep in the same ways the church has since.
After the battle of Clontarf many Vikings fled Ireland with their Irish wives. The Faroe Islands is a good example, studies show mitochondrial DNA tracing female descent is 84% Scottish/Irish.
Anyone know where the Lynch family would come from. I can only go back until the 1700s and can't find when my grandfather's family came to America.
Which line there as there are multiple unrelated families, i did do a small post on this last year ://m.facebook.com/groups/543361243673021/permalink/545216516820827/
do you have any information of when the surname Price first appeared in Ireland?
Unfortunately your name is very much like my own, its multiple origin points, multiple translations and is spread all over Ireland, The most accepted origin for many branches is Welsh, I would probably say it came across anywhere from the Anglo Norman invasion of ireland in 1169 to 1649 with Oliver Cromwells army.
