Banahan / Family History
The names Banahan and Banaghan in Ireland are derived from the native Gaelic O'Beannachain sept that was located in Counties Sligo and Leitrim. The origin of this name is the Gaelic word 'beannach', meaning 'beaked'. It is in the Western Counties that these names are still mostly found in modern times.
A Sept or Clan is a collective term describing a group of persons whose immediate ancestors had a common surname and all inhabited the same lands.
