The surname Scanlon, also spelled as O'Scanlan, has its origins in Ireland, specifically among the Gaelic people. The name is derived from the Gaelic word "scanlann," which means "contention" or "strife."

The Scanlons were originally a sept, or family group, centered in the province of Connacht in western Ireland. They were part of the larger Uí Fiachrach dynasty, which had its seat in the territory of Máenmaige. The name O'Scanlan indicates that they were descendants of Scanlan, their prominent ancestor.

During the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, many Gaelic families, including the Scanlons, faced displacement and oppression. However, the Scanlons managed to maintain their presence in Connacht. Over time, they spread to other parts of Ireland, including County Clare and County Kerry.

Like many Irish surnames, the spelling of Scanlon and O'Scanlan has evolved over the centuries. Different branches of the family adopted different versions of the name, influenced by local dialects and anglicization. Today, variations of the surname can be found throughout the world, particularly in countries with significant Irish diaspora populations.
