The surname Allen has its origins in Ireland, and it is derived from the Gaelic name "Ó hAilín", which translates to "descendant of Ailín". This Gaelic personal name was derived from the word "ail", meaning "rock" or "harmony". The Allen surname can be found in various parts of Ireland, but it is particularly associated with the province of Munster.
The Allen family has a long and rich history in Ireland. They were prominent in many areas including County Cork, County Limerick, and County Tipperary. The Allens were known to have been involved in various historical events, such as the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century and the Irish Rebellion of 1641.
During the period of English colonization in Ireland, many Allens were forced to leave their ancestral lands and seek new opportunities elsewhere. This led to the dispersal of the Allen surname to other parts of the world, particularly to England, America, and Australia.
Today, the surname Allen remains common in Ireland and among the Irish diaspora. Many individuals with the Allen surname have made significant contributions in various fields, including politics, literature, and sports. The Allen name continues to be a proud symbol of Irish heritage and a reminder of the enduring legacy of the Irish people.
