McKeown / Family History
The Irish name McKeown is taken from a number of native Gaelic Septs, especially the MacEoghain Sept of Connaught and MacEoin Sept of Ulster. These names are Gaelic forms of the first name 'John'. There are a wide number of variants including Magone, MacCune, MacEwen and even Caulfield. Johnson and Johnstone have also been used as anglicized versions of the Sept names.
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.
