Name Root:
Ó Fearghail / Uí Fhearghail
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Irish clan "Ó Fearghail, Uí Fhearghail," meaning "descendant of Fearghal, golden, yellow-haired." The Farrell or O'Farrell clan is an Irish clan that traces its origins back to Clontarf's battle in 1014. The clan's control of Annaly was interrupted by English invasions in the 13th-century, but by the 15th-century, the clan had reasserted control of the territory. They had divided into two family subgroups, Uí Fhearghail Bán (White O'Farrell) and Uí Fhearghail Buí (Yellow O'Farrell), controlling the north and south of Annaly, respectively.
