Millynn Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

Like so many Irish surnames this has several spelling variants and is consequently apt to be confused with Mallin and with Milne. The sixteenth century Fiants include 14 surnames which could be anglicized forms of the name now under consideration, but the fact that the location of the people referred to is usually in the Carlow,-Leix-Kilkenny area renders that unlikely, except in the case of Westmeath references, belong to Malinn, Melinn, Millynn, and those other forms in which the stress is on the second syllable, the parts of Counties Monaghan and Fermanagh centered around Clones. MacFirbis and other authorities place the Uí Maelfinde there. First it was anglicized as O'Mulline and O'Molline: this almost inevitably was absorbed by the ubiquitous Mullin as happened in Co. Monaghan; but those families which moved to Co. Westmeath, first as O'Mulline and O'Mo1line,became Malinn etc.

The modern Irish form of the name is Ó Maoilfhinn.
