The surname Linnet, of Irish descent, has an interesting history dating back to ancient times. The name is of Gaelic origin, derived from the Old Irish name "O'Leannain," which means "descendant of Leannan." Leannan itself is a personal name derived from "leann," meaning "liquor" or "ale." The surname can also be traced back to Mac Giolla Fhionntáin, meaning "son of the servant of St. Fionntán." The Linnet family has been associated with County Galway in western Ireland. The surname is believed to have originated from the ancient Gaelic kingdom of Connacht. Over time, the Linnet family dispersed throughout Ireland, with some members migrating to other parts of the country. It is important to note that surnames in Ireland were not commonly used until the 17th century. Prior to that, people were typically known by their first name, followed by their father's name (or sometimes their occupation or place of residence). The adoption of surnames was influenced by English colonization, which introduced the practice of using hereditary surnames. Today, individuals with the surname Linnet can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world where Irish descendants have settled. The name Linnet carries with it a rich history and a connection to the ancient Gaelic culture of Ireland.
