Solan Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

Ó Sóchlacháin Formerly anglicized Solahan, mainly found in Co. Mayo. SIF 140

A Guide to Irish Names (1964) by Edward MacLysaght

I can advance no evidence to prove it conclusively, but I have little doubt that Solan is an abbreviated form of Solahan i.e. Ó Sóchlacháin. This Connacht family were erenaghs of Cong, Co. Mayo, an earlier anglicized form of the name being O'Soghlaghane. One of these, Donlevy Ó Sóchlacháin, was a renowned harpmaker in the thirteenth century. The modern location of families of Solan, viz.

mainly Mayo, corroborates my view.

A very similar name, Souloughan, occasionally found in Co. Cavan, is not to be equated with Solahan or Solan, as it is a synonym of Sullahan (Ó Súileacháin) which, however, has now been almost entirely absorbed by the ubiquitous Sullivan.

John Sologhan was joint controller of the ports of Cork and Kinsale in 1402. His origin is not known.
