Flannelly Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

Ó Flannghaile A Co. Sligo sept quite distinct from, but often confused with, O'Flannery. SIF 70

A Guide to Irish Names (1964) by Edward MacLysaght

Though located in Co. Mayo, not far from one of the septs of O'Flannery (Ó Flannabhra, dealt with in Irish Families, p. 147, and see also Connacht map in More Irish Families, p. 307) Flannelly (Ó Flannghaile) is quite distinct from Flannery. Owing to the similarity of the names and also to the proximity of their location Flannelly and Flannery have inevitably become to some extent interchangeable in common usage. Flannelly was first anglicized O'Flanhill and O'Flanill, and it so occurs in the sixteenth century Fiants at Rosserk, Co. Mayo, and also at Kilglass nearby in Co. Sligo. The Four Masters record the death of Ó Flannghaile (i.e. O'Flannelly), vicar of Skreen, in 1395. Skreen is in Tireragh, the Sligo barony adjoining Tirawley in Mayo, the homeland of the sept.

Dealing with the barony of Tirawley Strafford's Inquisition of Co. Mayo found an"O'Flanne1 there in 1636 and according to the Book of Survey and Distribution for Co. Mayo the name so spelt was there also in 1655. By 1793, when a local census was taken, the name had been standardized as Flannelly, 17 families so called being then resident in Ballinrobe parish alone.
