Molan Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

Ó Mothlacháin Of Munster, especially Co.

Tipperary. Distinct from the English Molan(d). SIF 115

A Guide to Irish Names (1964) by Edward MacLysaght

These names are now rare, but a century ago there were a number of Molan families in south Tipperary. This is an abbreviated form of Mohalan, i.e. Ó Móthlacháin. In several anglicized variants such as O'Mohalane and O'Moholaghan it occurs frequently in the Tudor Fiants, always in Munster.

About the same time, in 1553, we find Dermot O'Molan a chaplain in Co. Meath, when we also find Molans as clerics and officials in the same area. These are probably Molands. Moland is fairly frequent in Anglo-Irish records, and this appears to be an English name unconnected with O'Molan. It is not unlikely, however, that this final D may have sometimes been added to the Irish Molan, as in the case of Bolan-Boland.
