The surname Nolan, sometimes spelled O'Nowlan, has its origins in Ireland and is primarily of Gaelic descent. The name derives from the Irish Ó Nualláin, which translates to descendant of Nuallán. Nuallán is believed to have been a personal name derived from the word nuall, meaning shout or battle cry.
The Nolans were originally associated with the region of Carlow in southeastern Ireland, specifically the area surrounding the town of Tullow. As a sept (an extended family or clan), they were part of the larger Uí Duach (Hy Duach) group, which was associated with the Kingdom of Leinster.
Over time, the Nolans spread throughout Ireland and became prominent in various counties, including Kilkenny, Wexford, and Offaly. They were known for their involvement in both military and ecclesiastical affairs.
During the Great Famine in the mid-19th century, many Nolans emigrated from Ireland, particularly to the United States, Canada, and Australia, seeking better opportunities and escaping the devastating effects of the famine. As a result, the surname can be found today in various parts of the world, with a significant Irish diaspora population.
The name Nolan has since become fairly common, and individuals with this surname have made notable contributions to various fields, including literature, sports, and politics.
