The surname Killeen, or its Gaelic form O'Killeen, has its origins in Ireland. It is derived from the Gaelic word "Cillín," meaning "small church" or "graveyard." The Killeen/O'Killeen clan is believed to have originated in the ancient kingdom of Uí Maine in County Galway, Ireland.
Like many Irish surnames, the Killeen/O'Killeen name can be traced back to the time when surnames were first introduced in Ireland, which was around the 10th century. During this period, surnames were typically based on the name of the clan or the father's name, denoting membership or descent from a particular family.
The Killeen/O'Killeen clan were known for their association with the Uí Maine kingdom, where they held positions of importance and were considered a noble family. They were known to be warriors and were involved in various battles and conflicts throughout history.
Over time, the Killeen/O'Killeen name spread beyond County Galway, and descendants of the clan can now be found in various parts of Ireland and around the world. Today, the surname Killeen/O'Killeen is still relatively common in Ireland, and many individuals with this surname take pride in their Irish heritage.
