The surname Cannon has its origins in Ireland and is derived from the Gaelic name Ó Canáin, which means "descendant of Canán." Canán itself is derived from the word "can," meaning "wolf." This surname is thus associated with bravery and strength, characteristics commonly associated with the wolf.
The Clan Cannon originated in County Donegal in Ulster, Ireland, and its members were known for their military prowess. They were often employed as mercenaries and soldiers, both in Ireland and abroad.
During the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century, many members of the Clan Cannon were displaced from their ancestral lands. Some migrated to other parts of Ireland, while others left for North America and other countries.
In the United States, the surname Cannon has a strong presence, particularly in states with high Irish immigrant populations such as New York, Massachusetts, and Illinois. Many Irish immigrants bearing the name Cannon arrived during the mid-19th century, seeking opportunities and escaping the hardships of the Great Famine. Today, Cannon remains a common surname among Irish Americans.
