The surname Annand has an interesting history, particularly when it comes to its Irish origins. It is derived from the Ancient Gaelic name "Ó hÉanáin," which translates to "descendant of Éanán." Éanán was a personal name that originated from the word "éan," meaning "bird."
The Annand surname is predominantly associated with County Donegal in Ireland. The Annands were a prominent Gaelic sept (clan) that held land and had a significant influence in the region. They were part of the larger Cenél Conail tribal grouping, which was one of the most powerful clans in medieval Ireland.
During the time of English colonization and the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century, many Annand families were displaced from their ancestral lands. Some Annands ended up migrating to other parts of Ireland, while others made the journey across the Atlantic to settle in North America.
As with many Irish surnames, the spelling of Annand has undergone changes over time due to variations in pronunciation and the anglicization of Irish names. Today, you can still find individuals with the surname Annand, both in Ireland and in countries with significant Irish diaspora communities.
