Hanahoe Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

? Ó hEanchadha

A Guide to Irish Names (1964) by Edward MacLysaght

Though this name is quite well known in north Mayo it is not mentioned in Woulfe's Sloinnte. He gives the Co. Galway name Heanue† with the Gaelic form Ó hEanadha. I suggest that Hanahoe is Ó hEanchadha (though I have no evidence for this or any other Gaelic-Irish form) just as Horahoe is Ó hEarchadha (see More Irish Families. p. 146).
