Mann Coat of Arms

The surname Mann has an interesting history, particularly for those of Irish descent. It originates from the Gaelic name "Ó Mainnín," which means "descendant of Mainnín." The name Mainnín itself has uncertain origins but is believed to have derived from the word "mainn," meaning "monk" in Gaelic. The Manns were an ancient Irish sept, a term used to describe a family or group of families sharing a common ancestry. They were primarily located in County Galway and County Roscommon in the western part of Ireland. During the medieval period, Ireland experienced significant political upheaval and English colonization. This had a profound impact on Gaelic culture and the Gaelic aristocracy, including the Manns. Many Irish clans were dispossessed of their lands, and their names were anglicized. In the case of the Manns, the Gaelic "Ó Mainnín" became anglicized to Mann. Throughout history, many Manns emigrated from Ireland to other parts of the world, particularly during times of economic hardship, such as the Irish Potato Famine in the mid-19th century. As a result, the surname Mann can be found in various countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom, among others. Today, individuals with the surname Mann, particularly those with Irish heritage, can take pride in their rich ancestral history and the resilience of their Gaelic roots.
