Nunan Coat of Arms, Family Crest and Nunan Family History


Nunan Family History


The names Nunan and Noonan in Ireland are derived from the native Gaelic O'Nuanain or O'hIonmhaineain Septs that are derived from the Gaelic word 'ionmhain' meaning 'beloved'. County Cork was the principal location of these Septs. O'Nunan and Nuneen are variants.

A Sept is an ancient Clan-like collective describing a group of persons whose immediate ancestors bore a common surname and inhabited the same territory.
