Fineran Surname Definition:

Ó Finntighearn occurs in the Leinster section of O'Dugan & O'Heerin's “Topographical Poem” as chief of Uí Mealla, the location of which O'Donovan was unable to determine. All records of the past century or so find the modern form Finneran in Counties Galway and Roscommon, so that we may perhaps assume that Uí Mealla was in the part of Leinster nearest thereto, viz Westmeath.
