There are two reasons some Irish may carry English surnames. Most bear anglicised versions of native Gaelic surnames but there are also families of English ancestry bearing them. The Statutes of Kilkenny mandated Irish living in the Pale to adopt English surnames. Some names are of Norman origin or associated with the Catholic Sean-Ghaill (old English).
