Facts About
Mulholland
Mulholland is an Anglicisation of the Old Gaelic surname O’Maolchalann. The prefixed ‘O’ in this name denotes that it is patronymic. Traditionally, Gaelic patronymic surnames were given to pass down the name of a clan chieftain or revered elder. In this case the name being passed down is Maolchalann which is made up of the Gaelic element ‘maol’ which referred to a person who had been tonsured. The act of tonsuring was undergone by devoted religious followers. The latter part of the name refers to St.Calann and therefore we can take the name as a whole to refer to a tonsured follower of this Saint. |
