The surname Kearney, or sometimes spelled O'Kearney, is of Irish descent and has a rich history. Both versions of the name have their origins in the Gaelic "O'Catharnaigh," which means "warlike" or "victorious". This name was initially used as a descriptor for the original bearers of the surname, showing their prowess in battle.
The Kearneys originated from two main clans in Ireland. One clan was based in County Meath, in the eastern province of Leinster, and the other in County Tipperary, in the southern province of Munster. The name has many different variations due to the phonetic spelling used in early Irish history.
Over time, many Kearneys migrated to other parts of the world, especially during the Great Famine in the mid-19th century. They established significant populations in America, Australia, and other parts of the British Empire. Today, the surname Kearney is common in many English-speaking countries, but it remains a distinct marker of Irish heritage.
