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 or Clan is a collective term describing a group of persons whose immediate ancestors had a common surname and all inhabited the same lands.
