O'Shine Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Apart from the fact that Woulfe gives no information about this name beyond stating that it belongs to Munster and is Ó Seighin in Irish, it is numerous enough to merit an article; I have also to correct a wrong impression which my passing reference to it More Irish Families (p. 35) would give. I referred to it there as a Thomond surname. We do find it in Clare, but that is not its original nor its main location to-day, which in fact is Cork and Kerry. I do not find reference to them in the seventeenth century unless John Shyhane of Kilfinnan in the 1659-60 “census” may be one (it is more probably for Sheehan); but in the next century there are a number of wills recorded for people of the name in Counties Cork and Kerry, and also in the eighteenth century, five Shines appear in the Kenmare estate manuscripts.
Weekly mentions a Welsh name, Shinn or Shine, but in Ireland-at any rate in Munster —— this may be disregarded. Shine is definitely a Gaelic surname, from which the prefix O has long been dropped.
Ó Seighin A Munster name found in Co. Clare, but mainly located in Cos. Cork and Kerry. SIF 137
