Gleeson, also spelled as O'Glissane, is a surname of Irish origin. It is derived from the Gaelic O'Gliasain, which means descendant of Glasán. The name Glasán itself is derived from the word glas, which means green or blue. The O'Gliasain clan originated in the historic province of Munster, particularly in the counties of Tipperary and Limerick.
The O'Gliasain clan was originally a sept of the O'Donovans, who were a powerful and influential family in the area. Over time, the O'Gliasain family became an independent and notable clan in their own right. They were involved in various local conflicts and played a significant role in the history of their region.
The surname Gleeson/O'Glissane is closely associated with the history of Ireland, particularly with the struggles against English rule and the preservation of Irish culture and traditions. Many bearers of this surname were involved in the Irish nationalist movements and played important roles in the fight for Irish independence.
Today, the surname Gleeson/O'Glissane is still relatively common in Ireland and among the Irish diaspora. It is a proud and enduring symbol of Irish heritage and identity.
