The surname Mulligan, or its variant O'Mulligan, is of Irish origin and is derived from the Gaelic name Ó Maolagáin. The prefix Ó means descendant of, while Maolagáin is a personal name that is believed to have originally meant bald or tonsure-crowned.
The Ó Maolagáin clan was originally located in County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland. They were part of the powerful Uí Néill dynasty, which was one of the dominant ruling families in ancient Ireland.
During the turbulent medieval period, the Ó Maolagáin clan faced significant challenges from outside invaders, including the English and the Norse. They were forced to defend their territories, and as a result, many members of the clan migrated to other parts of Ireland, such as County Louth and County Carlow.
Over time, the surname Ó Maolagáin evolved into different variations, including Mulligan and O'Mulligan. These names became more commonly used as surnames during the 17th and 18th centuries, when the practice of fixed hereditary surnames became more widespread in Ireland.
Today, individuals with the surname Mulligan or O'Mulligan can be found both in Ireland and in countries with significant Irish diaspora populations, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia.
