The surname Penningham, of Irish descent, has an intriguing history dating back centuries. It is derived from the Gaelic name "O'Ceannain" or "Mac Ceannain," meaning "descendant of Ceannan."

Ceannan was a personal name derived from the Gaelic word "ceann," which means "head" or "chief." The name bearers were likely originally a sept, or extended family group, who held a position of authority or leadership within their community.

As Gaelic naming practices shifted to using surnames, the descendants of Ceannan adopted the surname O'Ceannain or Mac Ceannain to denote their lineage. Over time, the anglicized form "Penningham" emerged as a variant of the surname.

During the period of English colonization of Ireland, many Irish families faced pressure to anglicize their names to conform to English naming conventions. This may have contributed to the adoption of the Penningham variant.

Today, individuals with the surname Penningham, of Irish descent, can trace their ancestry back to the original Gaelic name "O'Ceannain" or "Mac Ceannain," representing a proud lineage rooted in Irish history and heritage.
