The surname Cullen has its origins in Ireland and is derived from the Gaelic name Ó Coileáin, meaning descendant of Coileán. The name Coileán is believed to be derived from the word coileán, which translates to whelp or pup in English.
The Cullen surname is closely associated with the county of Tipperary in Ireland. The family was known to have been prominent in that region, and they held various positions of power and influence throughout history.
During the Middle Ages, Ireland experienced multiple waves of invasions and colonization by the Normans and English, leading to a blending of Gaelic and Anglo-Norman cultures. As a result, many Gaelic surnames, including Cullen, were anglicized. Over time, the prefix Ó was often dropped, and the name Cullen became more widely used.
The Cullen family played an active role in Irish history, particularly during the turbulent periods of the 16th and 17th centuries. They were involved in numerous conflicts, including the Nine Years' War and the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland. Despite these challenging times, the Cullens managed to maintain their presence and continued to be an influential family in Tipperary.
Today, the surname Cullen is still common in Ireland, and many individuals of Irish descent can trace their roots back to this ancient family.
