@@Veronica705 The family name Ó Lochlainn, or McLoughlin, is best translated as “descendant of Vikings.” In the Gaelic language, Lochlann refers to the “land of Fjords,” denoting the Nordic realms and the Viking kingdom. P.S. Read ANY English-Irish Dictionary: Viking = Lochlannach.

I'm American born to an immigrant Irish mother from Co Wexford. Her maiden name was Whitty. She has traced her family roots back over a thousand years. The name was Norse, DeWhitt angolsised in the time of Cromwell to Whitty. So I might suggest that a lot more Irish surnames were originally Norse to begin with.

[@tonymurray814]

I’m old now and from Ireland. When I was young I was blonde with blue eyes and I always felt a bit different in Ireland. Then when I traveled to ( historically ) Viking towns and areas I strangely felt at home with a lot of similar people.

DeWhitt looks more Norman than anything. They were, of course, descended from Vikings.

[@JohnMcLoughlin06]

I find this type of stuff super interesting because my last name is McLoughlin. I was always told it translates to “Son of the man from Norway” and that makes sense with your listing of “Loughlin” coming from Scandinavia. It’s super cool to see the intermingling of cultures that may be your ancestry that gets obscured by the time that passed.

[@Clans_Dynasties]

Son of Norway is actually a modern translation of another translations so its not entirely correct, it mean land of the lakes (fjord land) unfortunately lochlainn was also the word used sometimes to describe Scotland, this has led to some confusion, although recent DNA results have prove there is at least a Norse branch of the name.

[@williammcgrail9889]

How are You Bro. I found out my last name translates to Son of Niall. Most of us, including you can trace our Heritage to High King Niall. They called him King Niall of the 9 Hostages. He was king around the 800’s. It is rumored that he Took St. Patrick hostage when St. Patrick was a kid.

Isn’t it funny how Vikings (who were colonists and slave owners) are treated with wonder, awe and admiration, whereas the Brits who did the same thing just a few hundred years later, are treated with disgust and hatred.

[@SS-yj2le]

They didn’t do it to even close to the same scale as the English and even then, the viking were overall not as cruel as the English were. English carried out mass genocides and took control of 25% of all land or surface area on Earth. What viking did was undeniably terrible and have other things like Greenland, but the English wiped out countless cultures off the face of the Earth. To this day, England also exerts such control all over the entire world. The only thing vikings still really have that is even close would be Denmark’s continued control of Greenland and maybe certain past material wealth and continued political influences. Every place has done horrors in some way, but few were as bad as what England did.

My ancestors name is Melkorka, she was taken from Ireland an Irish princess, quite a fascinating story. In fact, while the males in my country have a predominantly Norse gene pool the women are predominantly of Irish genetics. She was very clever and is in fact a mother of great warriors and other intriguing persons in our history. I believe her clan was or became known as the O’Neil’s.

[@mokuraipower3835]

Hi, Might I suggest you find a straight-line female from Melkorka and have her tested for her Full Sequence mtDNA? Only do it when there is a Special on, like when it is Christmas and the prices are brought right down from normal. And if it proves to be the Norse gene perhaps try for the Warrior Gene. I hesitate about mentioning the Warrior gene as not many people get it. I have it but it simply is not a male gene, meaning I got mine from my mother. You mention a Norse gene and Irish genetics and so if you know which is which I would love to hear which of them is which. My Full Sequence MtDNA is U5b2b2 but to date I have only two or three people who are off mine, by one mutation. Of course I would love an exact match but all my girl 1st cousins are far and few left now. My Y-DNA is I1a3a1 haplogroup and each of us who have done their Big Y-700 are that, but are placed in groups according to their Terminal SNP of whatever they are in. i.e. I am BY151919. Got one match to date and he is an American guy. 😀

If it's not too much to ask, would you mind sharing what company/companies you did your dna tests through? I did mine first using 23andme. Then within a year of that I did one through Ancestry DNA. If you used more than 1 company did you notice any difference between one vs the other? For me I got different ethnicities results from each one.

World Economic Forum -- Great Reset "You will own nothing and be happy" Agenda 21 -- Depopulation ------- Face Mask Contaminated -- Graphene Hand Gel Contaminated - Graphene 5G signal can activate the Graphene and shred your lungs from within. Face Mask is filling peoples lungs with Graphene. 5G is a Dual Communication Network and Weapon System. 5G signal can be focused on a defined area called Beam Forming for example the brain and/or the lungs where the Graphene will accumulate within the body. Thus Graphene on the Test Swab and in the Injection and the Contaminated Face Mask enters the body either the brain and/or the lungs and can be activated by the 5G signal at any time. Tragically activating the Graphene left inside the body will kill the person. Is this all part of the Depopulation plan? ------- ------- Pathogenic Protein Bioweapon. Cannot provide the exact details of what it is or my comment will be auto-deleted. Primer and Catalyst. Pathogenic Protein Bioweapon on the Test Swab and in the Injection is the Primer. Spike Protein in the Common Cold Virus is the Catalyst threat will activate the Pathogenic Protein Bioweapon. Nasal Spray Contaminated With The Common Cold? The Common Cold is one of the group of approximately 55 Coronaviruses. When people catch the Common Cold over the autumn and winter 2021-2022 Cytokine Storm death within 28 days. People must understand how the mRNA escapes the protective lipid once in the body, for the mRNA to attach itself to the ribosomes. That's a rather important part.

@Clans_Dynasties great thanks. So the 'name' is English in origin, but it doesn't imply that the person's origins are? That being the case and given the constant mixing of people on the British Isles you would have to really know your family history to have any certainty as to where your name is from.

[@Clans_Dynasties]

Correct the names would be of English Origin, DNA is shedding more light on the history of many surnames, there are ways in which you can narrow down the possibilities of your families origins such as looking at your earliest known ancestors Location in relation to known points if interest for Irish and English lines, Religion and Wealth (i.e. whether they held land or were tenants), this obviously is based on probability.

Driving the Vikings out of Scotland did not mean that they cleared out people based on their race. What happened was that the Gaelic language community asserted itself and fought a campaign to force everyone to either use Gaelic and to follow Gaelic ways; or to leave and go to Iceland. At the end of the conflict those who wanted to speak Norse all went to Iceland to which they carried a lot of Gaelic DNA, but not the language. And in parallel, there were many who stayed who carried Norse DNA, and names as well. Those mixed people, speaking Gaelic and following Gaelic ways, but with swift ships of Viking style were the Gall-Gaidheil. They spawned a warlike cast of professional soldiers in both Scotland and Ireland and provided a bulwark against the English for hundreds of years.

DH Allen, a scholar on Newmarket/Clanawley who did a bit of work on the McAuliffes made the suggestion that Amhlaiobh Álainn might have been named after St Olafr/Olaf/Olave whose "cult" was growing in Ireland around the time. You find the name a lot in Cork as a first name (O'Sullivans in particular). But the fostering idea I like as well! Growing up in Newmarket there was always local folklore about a Danish princess being his mother, but I'd say that was some 19th century invention.

@@petergibson2318 as in you find Amhlaoibh used as a first name amongst the Uí Shúilleabháin.

To add to the Sugrue name they were also predominant in County Cork also, from what If been told from my Elders the name means the Red Hawks, and they were associated with the Royal house of Denmark, not so much Norway. It's a remote possibility they were also Black Irish. Having fled the Inquisitions of Spain and Portugal. I'm not sure if that is from Sugrue or the Findlay's. As my Great Grandmother Johanna Sugrue. was brought to New Zealand with Her Aunty, And Her father went to San Francisco with his nephew. I'm sure there's some strange Irish logic there.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. Where does this rubbish come from? Sugrue is a NATIVE IRISH GAELIC clan from Cork. It has NO VIKING connections apart from the borrowed Norse personal name. Your "Elders" were bullsh*tting you. DNA research on the Sugrue name proves this. Finally, there is no such thing as "Black Irish".

Mulholland is certainly an anglocised Gaelic-Irish surname. It is neither Viking nor Norman. It is not a primary or secondary Gaelic sept, but nevertheless has its roots in Gaelic Ulster. It probably originates in Armagh. You should be most proud to have Gaelic and Armagh ancestry. The Gaels of Armagh never gave an inch to any foreigner. In modern times, they were the lynchpins of the IRA in Ulster and before that the Fenian movement. The English were always terrified of south Armagh. The British Army could only travel by air in south Armagh, and even then not without risk. Back in Tudor times, the English were most susceptible to assault in the area. Consider the Battle of Yellow Ford in 1598.

If your people are from the west coast they are either Mac Muiris of Mayo. They were Normans with NO CONNECTION to Africa. If they are from Sligo they are Ó Muiris, a variant of Irish Morrissy and NATIVE IRISH...NO CONNECTION to Africa. Where do people get such rubbish from.

@@cooldaddy2877 I think you have to go a little further back than the Iberian peninsula to discover the origin. The migrations happened from far farther south far earlier in time. There is great possibility that the name moved north through more eastern lands; southern Italy then up into France. Great subject, from a dark and swarthy perspective anyway.

[@cooldaddy2877]

My points stand. The dark and swarthy label has already been explained...and is NATIVE IRISH.@@L.M1792

I am a descendant of Vikings. My family has been traced to about the year 900. We are majorly Swedish, but DNA shows we are also Irish. As none of the family lines I have yet discovered are known to be directly related to Ireland, I wonder if it goes back farther than the records, which the Vikings didn’t keep in the same ways the church has since.

[@MacToirdealbhaigh]

After the battle of Clontarf many Vikings fled Ireland with their Irish wives. The Faroe Islands is a good example, studies show mitochondrial DNA tracing female descent is 84% Scottish/Irish.

Trying to trace where in Ireland my grandfather was from. Gilmore was his sur name. Very interesting video!

[@marymcdermott9581]

Lots of Gilmore's around Galway city and county

My last name is Hayes I live in California and this always amazes me, my great grandfather came from Ireland. Hayes derived from aed - “Ohaodha”god of fire, and fell under the banner McNamara clan, lion facing left in red, you see it early in the video @3:33 you see the Hayes crest- snake around the sword, in south west of cork where Vikings were as well. Pretty cool video

[@Clans_Dynasties]

Hayes has multiple origins like every name I hope to do one on all the branches soon, Thank you.

[@haleydoe644]

My great-grandmother was a Hayes.

Wrong. Where do you get this "God of fire" rubbish. Stop watching Viking films and wake up.

Very interesting ... the Hiberno-Norse(Irish-Norse) also settled big scale in parts of the Wirral and south west Lancashire in present day Northern England. Also they ruled mostly under the Uí Ímair's the twin kingdom of Dublin and York (Northumbria) under Amlaíb Cuarán, Sitric Cáech,Gofraid ua Ímair et al., ..and of course Erik BloodAxe

Sadly, most people don’t know their history. Sadly, slavery has been practiced by every culture since the beginning of time. Slavery does not discriminate between age, gender, color, race, religion etc. etc. etc. Everyone is guilty!! 🤦🏻‍♀️🥹

[@MacToirdealbhaigh]

Yep, St Patrick was sold into slavery by the Welsh to the Irish.

[@G02372]

Both my parents are Irish and both have Irish surnames. My DNA test was 7% Scandinavian. There must be a fair bit of Viking DNA in Ireland 1000 years later.

[@MystikalWisdom]

Higgins, my mom’s maiden name means “sea voyager” deff viking Irish/ Scottish- theyre all from Isle of man

[@HitherandYarn]

My DNA says I am Irish and Finnish and have no idea where the Finnish came in. My great, great, great grandmother's name was Dowdall, so we think we may have had a Finnish viking ancestor. Your website is very interesting. Thank you.

[@Tyrfingr]

Finnish viking ? now that's new :)

[@daniellamcgee4251]

Keep in mind that DNA tests regarding geographical origins are far from 100% accurate.

[@elsemargrethetnder883]

@@Tyrfingr DNA-tests from skeletons found in Viking graves shows that Vikings came from countries all over, not only Scandinavia.

[@Tyrfingr]

@@elsemargrethetnder883 If you use the word viking in the broadest sense possible, you are correct. Otherwise we would have to resort to saying Northmen or country specific. The word Viking is a northern originated word though, so it becomes troublesome to apply it to several people who use their own terms for the same thing.

[@elsemargrethetnder883]

@@Tyrfingr The group of people (seafaring warriors) we today refer to as Vikings has in recent times being proved by DNA from more than 400 Viking remains to not only consist of Scandinavians. Being a Viking was perhaps more like a kind of profession, and Scandinavia may have been a gathering place that served as a starting point for their raids? (thus we have named them Vikings?) Btw they weren’t called “Vikings” until the 18th century, so when and where the word Viking originated doesn’t tell us much about the people we call Vikings. When humans tell each other what the truth is, it’s very often based upon wishful thinking and what we want the truth to be. I think DNA relates more to reality than humans do, because DNA has no such agenda.
