The surname Cullen or McCullen has its origins in Ireland, specifically among people of Irish descent. The name is derived from the Gaelic name Ó Coileáin, which means descendant of Coileán. Coileán itself is a diminutive of coil, meaning hound or puppy.
The Cullen/McCullen surname is associated with various regions in Ireland, including County Tipperary, County Kilkenny, and County Cork. The name has a long history, stretching back centuries. It is believed that the Cullen/McCullen clan originally belonged to the Dál gCais tribe of Munster.
During the era of English colonization in Ireland, many Irish families, including the Cullen/McCullen clan, faced persecution and were dispossessed of their lands. This led to widespread emigration of the Irish population, including members of the Cullen/McCullen family. Many individuals bearing the surname eventually settled in places like North America, particularly the United States and Canada.
Today, the Cullen/McCullen surname is found worldwide due to the diaspora caused by emigration. In many cases, individuals with this surname proudly maintain their Irish heritage and traditions, celebrating their rich history and ancestry.
