O'Dowd Coat of Arms, Family Crest and O'Dowd Family History
O'Dowd Family History
The Irish name O'Dowd is derived from the native Gaelic O'Dubhda Septs that were located in Counties Sligo and Mayo especially. Smaller Septs dispersed to Kerry where they are now known as Doody and to Derry where they became Duddy. Dodd and O'Dowda are other variants of this name that can still be mostly found in the Connaught Counties.
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.
