McGloughlin Coat of Arms, Family Crest and McGloughlin Family History


McGloughlin Family History


The names McGloughlin and MacLoughlin are derived from the Mac Lochlainn Sept that was very prominent in Counties Donegal and Derry and who were a branch of the ruling Ui Neills. These names are of completely different origin from that of O'Loughlin which is derived from the native Gaelic O'Lochlainn Sept that of Clare and Limerick.

A Sept is an ancient form of a Clan and is a group of people whose ancestors all bore the same surname and inhabited the same locality.
