Is O'meara an Irish name

Answer 1

Yes it is. Almost every name with O is Irish, because ó in Gaelic means 'from'. So in Irish boys had first names and then ó and the clan/father they were from. (I say boys because girls had ní) So if your name is Séan ó meara it's Séan from the Meara clan.

If your interested, there's a myth (not proven) that people with ó and mac in their names were those with such great pride they refused the soup from the Quaker soup kitchens during the Irish famine.

Hope this helps!
