The surname King, of Irish descent, has a rich and fascinating history that dates back centuries. In Ireland, the name King is derived from two Gaelic surnames - O' Cionga and Mac Cionga. The prefix O' signified descendant of, while Mac meant son of.
The O' Cionga clan originated in County Galway, and they held a prominent position as hereditary bards to the O'Flaherty family. Over time, they anglicized their name to King and spread to other parts of Ireland, particularly County Cork.
The Mac Cionga family, on the other hand, hailed from County Roscommon and were known for their military prowess. They later adopted the surname King and established themselves in various regions of Ireland, including County Tyrone and County Mayo.
During the wave of Irish emigration in the 19th century, many individuals with the surname King left Ireland for opportunities abroad, particularly in the United States. As a result, the name spread globally and became more prevalent.
Today, there are numerous individuals with Irish ancestry who bear the surname King. This name carries a strong sense of Irish heritage and represents the resilience and adaptability of the Irish people throughout history.
