Facts About
Mullins
Mullins is thought to be the anglicised version of the Gaelic surname O’Maolain. The prefix ‘O’ denotes that the surname is patronymic, and Maolain would have been a Gaelic given name. However Mullins has no prefix, but a suffixed ‘s’, which works in the same way to show that Mullins is a patronymic form of the given name Mullin, which itself is a variation on Maolain. Maolin is said to mean ‘tonsured’ and would have been given to a person who had shaved the crown of their head to show their aversion for vanity and their commitment to god. |
