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