O'Shea Coat of Arms, Family Crest and O'Shea Family History
O'Shea Family History
The names Shea, O'Se and O'Shea in Ireland are derived from the native Gaelic O'Seaghdha Sept that is taken from a Gaelic word meaning 'hawklike' or 'stately'. Descendants can be found mostly in the ancestral homeland of County Kerry although a branch of the Sept migrated and became one of the 'Tribes of Kilkenny'.
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.
