Colleran Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Ó Callaráin (not Mac Allmhuráin) Almost exclusively a Mayo and north Galway name. SIF 37
I am informed by Mr. P. J. Kennedy that Gaelic speakers in Co. Galway use the form Ó Callaráin and in the north eastern part of the county it is so pronounced also by English speakers: that and Co.
Mayo is its main location. In 1785 the parochial census carried out by the parish priest found eleven families of the name in Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo; in 1866 all the 17 births registered for it were in north Connacht and again in 1890 all the births were in Counties Mayo and Galway, while the statistics of the present day show that they are still there. Woulfe makes the tentative suggestion that Ó Callaráin is a corrupt form of Mac Allmhuráin. As we meet O'Calleran as far back as 1602 I prefer to accept it as an O name. That reference is, however, not to a place in Connacht but to the barony of Fertullagh in Co. Westmeath and in the seventeenth century we do meet occasional references to Collerans in Leinster.
