The surname Gunning, or O'Gunning, has its origins in Ireland and is of Gaelic origin. The name is derived from the Gaelic O'Gonain, which means descendant of Gonan. The name Gonan is believed to have been a personal name that was popular in ancient Ireland.
The Gunning family was originally located in County Leitrim, in the province of Connacht in Ireland, but they also had a presence in County Longford and County Roscommon. The family were members of the ruling class of Gaelic Ireland, and were known for their involvement in local politics and for holding positions of authority within their communities.
There are a number of variations of the name, including Gannon and Gannan, which are also derived from the original Gaelic O'Gonain. The name Gunning has also been anglicized to Gunnion and Gunnan over the years.
Throughout history, the Gunning family has been associated with various notable figures in Ireland, and the name has spread to other parts of the world through Irish emigration.
Today, the surname Gunning is still found in Ireland, as well as in other countries with Irish diaspora communities, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia.
