The surname Coghlan, or McCoghlan, is of Irish origin and can be traced back to the early 10th century. The McCoghlan family name was first used by the descendants of the Gaelic chieftain named Conchobhar, who belonged to the province of Connacht. This name is derived from the Gaelic words Mac, meaning son of, and Cochlan, meaning cape or hood.
The family was initially located in the kingdom of Teffia in the Irish Midlands, and later on, they moved to the County Offaly. In the early days, the McCoghlans were renowned as the Lords of Delvin Eathra, a title they held for centuries. The McCoghlans were known for their bravery and were involved in several battles throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, particularly against English invaders.
However, with the political changes during the 17th century, the McCoghlan clan lost their lands and many of them dispersed. Today, people with the surname McCoghlan or Coghlan can be found worldwide, but the largest concentration remains in Ireland, particularly in the counties of Offaly and Roscommon, where the clan originally held power. Despite the dispersion, the Coghlans have managed to keep their unique history alive.
