Ohara Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
O'Hora as a synonym of O'Hara is amongst those given by the registrar-general, Robert Matheson, in his official report on the subject. This, however, is no proof that they are in fact true variants of the same Gaelic name, since the absorption of uncommon names by common ones is a phenomenon frequently noticed in this “Guide”. A further fact which would point to their identity is that O'Hara is found almost exclusively in north Connacht, the homeland of the O'Haras; and I may add an interesting reference to them in that part of Ulster to which a branch of the O'Haras migrated (see Irish Families p. 173); in 1606 the O'Horas were employed, in company with the MacDonnells, MacGuinnesses and MacQuillans, to “prosecute” woodkern in Co. Antrim. (This of course, is an isolated case and may have been no more than a misspelling of the name in the Lord Deputy's letter). On the other hand there is an entirely distinct sept of O hEarchadha which, according to Woulfe, is anglicized inter alia as Horahoe, obsolete forms being O'Horrochoe, O'Horchoy etc. The latter appears in the “census” of 1659 as a principal Irish name in the barony of Corren, Co. Sligo, and an O'Hurkoy is among the Sligomen who obtained “pardons” in 1592. Horohoe is a well known name in Swinford, Co. Mayo, area. In the list of synonyms referred to above Horoho and Horaho are reported from Swinford as being sometimes changed to the English names Harris and Harrison. Neither of the latter, however, is at all common in Connacht, though both are numerous in Dublin and Belfast.
