The surname Dane, or O'Dane, has its origins in Ireland and has a rich and ancient history. The name is derived from the Gaelic O'Dubhain, meaning 'descendant of Dubhan', which was a personal name meaning 'the little dark one'. The O'Danes were originally a sept (a division of a clan) of the larger O'Neill clan, which was one of the most powerful and influential clans in Irish history.
The O'Danes were based in County Cork and were known for their fierce loyalty and bravery. They were often involved in battles and skirmishes with rival clans and played a significant role in Irish history.
The name Dane has also been anglicized from the Gaelic Ó Dubháin, with the prefix Ó meaning descendant of and the root Dubh meaning black or dark. The name was historically associated with the province of Connacht, and particularly with County Galway.
Over time, the O'Danes and Danes spread throughout Ireland and beyond, and the name has become more widely dispersed. Today, people with the surname Dane or O'Dane can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world, particularly in countries with a strong Irish diaspora such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
