A Guide to Irish Names (1964) by Edward MacLysaght

Probably contracted from O'Ciardubhain, ‘Ciardubhan’s Son’ (dubhan means ‘little dark , ' and as ciar also means ‘dark-coloured’— vide Karran—it had probably lost its significance before dubhan was added).

'Maenach Ua Cirdubhain, successor of Mochta of Lughmadh, died.’ The Annals of Ulster in the same year call him O’Cieruvan.

Ciardubhan has in Ireland been contracted into Kirwan.

Corooin may possibly be a contraction of Mac Carrg-hamha. ‘ This name is Anglicised Caron by O’Flaherty, in his Ogygia, part iii., c. 85, and Mac Carrhon by Connell Mageoghan who knew the tribe well. The name is now anglicised Mac Caroon.' 'Mag Carrghamha is over their battalions of the stout and lordly chiefs.'
