O Cuinn
Quinn, in Irish Ó Cuinn, comes from the personal name Conn, meaning a person of high intelligence, or, maybe, a freeman. There were a number of distinct families of the same name.
In Ulster, where they are most numerous, they were centered in County Tyrone and the Glens of Antrim. There was an important sept that was driven out of County Longford by their kinsmen, the O Ferralls of Annaly. In the mid-twelfth century, the O Cuinn of Clann Chuain near Castlebar were a subsidiary of the powerful MacDermotts of Moylurg. The most prominent family was a Dalcassian sept of Thomond in the barony of Inchiquin in County Clare.Place names such as Inchiquin, Ballyquin and Glenquin are spelled with a single n, while in Irish they have a double n. In general Catholics spell their name "Quinn" while Protestants spell it "Quin", but this has never been a rigid rule.Niall O Cuinn, the first of the Dalcassian sept to use the surname, was killed at the battle of Clontarf in 1014. In the thirteenth century, Thomas O Quinn was bishop of the monastery at Clonmacnoise, the famed Irish center of medieval learning. In the early sixteenth century, during severe religious strife, John Quinn, a Dominican, was Bishop of Limerick.The Quins, whose ancestors were Chiefs of the Clan Hy Ifearnan, gave their name to Inchiquin and also became Earls of Dunraven, and are one of the rare families of true Gaelic origin in the Irish peerage. Thady Quin (born 1645), who settled in Adare, County Limerick, was the ancestor of Valentine Quin who, between 1720 and 1730, built the first Quin manor at Adare by the River Maigue.
