The surname Culligan or McColgan has a rich history of Irish descent. It is an anglicized form of the Gaelic name Mac Ualghairg, which means son of Ualgharg. The name is believed to have originated in County Donegal in the northern province of Ulster, Ireland.
The McColgan clan is said to be descended from Eoghan, a son of Niall of the Nine Hostages, who was a High King of Ireland in the 5th century. The clan's territory was located in the area of Inishowen, where they were an important and influential family for many centuries.
During the 17th century, many McColgans were forced to flee Ireland due to the political and religious conflicts of the time, and as a result, the name spread to other parts of the world, particularly to Scotland and America. Over time, the name evolved into different forms, including Culligan.
Today, individuals with the surname Culligan or McColgan can be found in various countries, but the name still retains its strong connection to its Irish roots. Many people with this surname take pride in their Irish heritage and the history of their family name.
