The surname Quillan or McQuillan has its origins in Ireland, specifically in County Antrim. It is derived from the Gaelic name Mac Uighilin, which means "son of Uighilin." The prefix "Mac" indicates "son of," while "Uighilin" is a diminutive form of the name Uigheallán. The McQuillan family was prominent in Irish history, with their stronghold located at Dunseverick Castle. They were part of the powerful Uí Néill dynasty and played a significant role in the struggles for power in medieval Ireland. The McQuillans were known for their military prowess and were often involved in conflicts with neighboring clans and chieftains. They were fierce warriors and their name became synonymous with bravery and strength. Over time, variations of the name emerged, including Quillan, which became more common. This variation often occurred due to Anglicization and the influence of English-speaking authorities. However, both the McQuillan and Quillan versions of the surname have remained prevalent. Today, individuals with the surname Quillan or McQuillan can be found not only in Ireland but also across the world due to Irish emigration. Many people of Irish descent continue to proudly carry this surname, honoring their ancestral roots and the rich history associated with it.
