O'Donaghue Family History
The names O'Donaghue and Donoghue in Ireland are derived from the native Gaelic O'Donnchadha Sept that was located in Counties Cork and Kerry. There were separate Septs in Counties Galway and Cavan and it is in these four Counties that the majority of descendants can still be found.
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.
