The surname Condon has its roots in Ireland, tracing back to ancient Gaelic origins. It is derived from the Gaelic name Condún, which means highborn or prince. The Condons were originally a prominent family of the Dál gCais kingdom of Thomond, located in present-day County Clare, Ireland.
The surname Condon gained further prominence during the medieval period. The Condons were renowned warriors, and their loyalty to the O'Briens, the ruling family of Thomond, earned them significant privileges and land grants. They played a crucial role in the defense of their territory against Norman invaders.
Over time, the Condon surname spread beyond County Clare and became prevalent in other parts of Ireland. Many Condons migrated to different regions, such as County Cork and County Waterford, where they established new branches of the family.
During the waves of Irish immigration to the United States in the 19th and 20th centuries, many Condons left Ireland in search of better opportunities. Consequently, the Condon surname became well-established in Irish-American communities, particularly in states like New York, Massachusetts, and Illinois.
Today, the Condon surname is still common in Ireland and among Irish diaspora communities worldwide. It carries the rich heritage of the ancient Gaelic nobility and the resilience of the Irish people in the face of adversity.
