Sinon Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This name, formerly very prominent in Co. Cork, is still extant in Co. Clare where it is also spelt Shynane. According to an article in the Journal of the Cork Historical and Archeological Society, (xxx, p. 90) the family burial place at Kilbolane in west Cork dates back at least to 1492; it records the arms (the blazon is unfortunately not given) with motto “confido in Domino et non moriemur”. The Sinons are one of the few Munster families described in the Spanish archives dealing with Spanish knights of Irish origin as “illustre”.
Woulfe states that Ó Sionáin is a variant of Ó Seanáin (from sean old): I would like to see evidence of this equation before accepting it. The only Irish manuscript in which I have seen the name is that relating to the foundations of the Irish Franciscan province (see Analecta Hibernica VI 202) where Nioclás Sionán is mentioned as Provincial in 1629. It occurs several times in the Fiants between 1573 and 1603 as Shynan and Shynane, all in Co. Cork and mostly Doneraile. In none of these cases is the prefix O used with the name.
