The surname Kinnane, sometimes spelled O'Kinane, has its origins in Ireland. It is an anglicized version of the Gaelic name Ó Cionaoith, which was derived from the personal name Cionaoth. The prefix Ó indicates descendant of, and the name itself translates to lover of hounds.
The Kinnane family is believed to have originated in County Tipperary, located in the province of Munster in southern Ireland. They were a part of the Dál gCais tribe, which was one of the most powerful clans in medieval Ireland. The Dál gCais ruled over the Kingdom of Thomond and were known for their fierce warriors and military prowess.
During the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, many Irish clans, including the Kinnanes, resisted the foreign rule. However, over time, they were gradually assimilated into Norman society and adopted the use of surnames.
Throughout history, the Kinnane name has spread beyond its ancestral homeland, with members of the family migrating to different parts of Ireland and overseas. Today, individuals with the surname Kinnane or O'Kinane can be found in various countries, particularly in areas with significant Irish diaspora communities.
As with many surnames, the specific history and lineage of the Kinnane or O'Kinane family may vary among different branches and individuals.
