The surname Curnin or O'Curneen has its roots in Ireland, specifically in the province of Ulster. It is an anglicized version of the original Gaelic name Ó Cuirnín, which means descendant of Cuirnín.
The name Cuirnín itself is believed to derive from the Gaelic word cuireann, meaning hurts or wounds. It is likely that the original bearer of the name was known for his prowess in battle or his skill as a warrior.
The O'Curneen family was part of the larger Uí Néill dynasty, which was one of the most powerful and influential families in ancient Ireland. They were originally based in County Tyrone and County Derry, and were known for their involvement in local politics and administration.
During the English colonization of Ireland in the 17th century, many Irish families anglicized their names in an effort to assimilate and avoid discrimination. This led to the adoption of the surname Curnin or O'Curneen by some members of the family.
Today, descendants of the O'Curneen family can still be found in Ireland, particularly in the Ulster region. The name has also spread to other parts of the world through emigration, with Curnins or O'Curneens now residing in countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
