The surname Meara or O'Mara has a rich history, particularly within Irish ancestry. The name originates from the Gaelic name "Ó Meadhra," which means "descendant of Meadhrach," a personal name derived from the word "meadhair," meaning "mirth." The Meara family is primarily associated with County Clare and County Tipperary in Ireland.

The Meara clan has ancient roots in Ireland and played a significant role in Irish history. They were part of the Dál gCais, a powerful Gaelic clan that ruled the Kingdom of Thomond. The Meara chieftains held the title of "Prince of Thomond," and their territory covered large parts of modern-day Clare and Tipperary.

During the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, the Meara clan resisted the foreign forces, but their lands were eventually seized. Despite this, the Meara family continued to maintain their status and influence in the region.

Over time, the surname Meara evolved into O'Mara, with the "O" meaning "descendant of." The prefix "O'" was often dropped during the Anglicization of Irish surnames, leading to variations in spelling. Today, both Meara and O'Mara remain common surnames among the Irish diaspora, particularly in the United States and Canada, where many Irish immigrants settled. The Meara/O'Mara name is a testament to the enduring legacy of Irish heritage and the resilience of its people.
