Kinahan Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Ó Coinneacháin A sept located in the country south of Athlone. Kinahan in Ulster is usually one of the many variants of Cunningham, q.v. SIF 99
When Kinahan and Kinaghan are found in Ulster or Louth they are usually variants of the ubiquitous Cunningham, which in Great Britain is a toponymic (from the place of that name in Ayrshire) but has been widely used in Ireland as the anglicized form of Ó Cuinneagáin and Ó Cuinneacháin (see Irish Families p. 104). For example George Henry Kinahan (1820-1908), geologist and engineer, was from Co. Down. Kinahan, as a distinct name (probably Ó Coinneacháin in Irish) belongs to the country south of Athlone, comprising the neighbouring parts of Counties Offaly, Westmeath and Galway; and there it is mainly found to-day. Pedigrees of the Offaly families are among the records of the Genealogical Office.
