The surname Fennell is of Irish origin and is an anglicized form of the Gaelic O'Finnéall, which means 'descendant of Finnéall'. The name originated as a patronymic, meaning it was derived from the father's name. The O'Fennell clan was originally located in County Limerick in the province of Munster.
The O'Fennell clan was a powerful and influential family in medieval Ireland, and they were known for their military prowess and leadership. They were part of the Dál gCais tribal grouping and were closely associated with the O'Briens, who were the rulers of Thomond. The O'Fennells held large territories in County Limerick and were considered one of the leading families in the region.
During the 17th century, the O'Fennell clan, like many other Irish families, experienced displacement and upheaval due to English colonization and the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland. This led to many O'Fennells leaving Ireland and migrating to other countries, particularly to the United States and Australia.
Today, the surname Fennell is still found predominantly in Ireland and is also fairly common in the United States and Australia, where many descendants of the O'Fennell clan settled. The name continues to be an important part of Irish heritage and history.
