Heslin Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Ó hEislin, formerly Ó Heisleanáin A Breffny sept of Mohill, Co. Leitrim. SIF 88
This sept belongs by tradition to Breffny and its representatives are still mainly located in the western part of that territory, particularly around Mohill, Co. Leitrim. The Gaelic-Irish form of the name is now Ó hEislin: it was formerly Ó hEisleanáin and the anglicized form of this is illustrated in the person of Father Heslenane OFM (Louvain, 1664). A century earlier we find the name in Leitrim and Longford Fiants given as O'Hislenane and O'Hiselunane. It is occasionally met elsewhere, e.g. Cormack O'Heslenan who was arrested for suborning a witness against Phelim O'Byrne in Co. Wicklow in 1629.
