The surname Penney, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back centuries. It is derived from the Gaelic name Ó Coinnigh, meaning "descendant of Coinneach." Coinneach was a personal name that originated from the Old Irish word "coinneach," which translates to "comely" or "handsome." The name evolved over time, eventually becoming Penney.
The Penney surname has its roots in Ireland, particularly in County Cork and County Kerry. These areas were heavily populated by Gaelic-speaking clans and families. The Ó Coinnigh clan was prominent in these regions, and its members adopted the Penney surname during the anglicization process of Irish names in the 17th and 18th centuries.
During the turbulent times of Irish history, many families emigrated from Ireland to other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The Penney surname traveled with them, establishing a presence in these new lands. Today, descendants of Irish immigrants can still be found bearing the Penney surname in these countries.
The Penney surname is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Irish people. It serves as a link to the past and a reminder of the resilience and determination of those who carried the name throughout generations.
