My Research into
THE CALLAHAN FAMILY
Introduction
I began researching my wife’s family history in the early 2000’s, Callahan being her mum’s maiden name.
As is the case with many other surnames throughout the 19th Century, a number of spelling variations have been found.
According to The Irish Rose website:
|
Callahan is a well-known Irish surname. The Callahan name means descendent of Ceallachán. He was the Eóganachta King of Munster from AD 935 until 954. The personal name Cellach means ‘bright-headed.’ |
