The surname Gannon or McGannon has its origins in Ireland, derived from the Gaelic Mac Canann. The prefix Mac means son of, so the name translates to son of Canann. The name Canann is believed to have been a personal name in ancient Ireland.
The McGannon and Gannon families were primarily found in the northern province of Ulster, which is known for its strong Irish heritage. The name can be traced back to the 13th century, where it was first recorded in County Donegal.
The Gannons and McGannons were part of the powerful O'Neill clan, who were prominent figures in Irish history. They were associated with the ruling families of Ulster and were often involved in the political and military affairs of the region.
During the time of the Great Famine in the 1840s, many Gannons and McGannons emigrated from Ireland to escape poverty and hardship. As a result, the surname can now be found in various parts of the world, particularly in the United States, Canada, and Australia.
Today, the Gannon and McGannon surnames are still prevalent in Ireland and among the Irish diaspora, serving as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of the people who bear these names.
