Feeney

Los FEENEY descienden del clan gaélico O'Fiannaidhe (en gaélico, "soldado"), localizado en la provincia de Connacht (Co. Sligo y Mayo). A su vez, los O'Fidhne de Galway y Roscommon anglicizaron su apellido como O'FEENEY: a ellos refiere el nombre del pueblo de Ballyfeeny. Se registran cinco personas de este nombre entre los irlandeses llegados al puerto de Buenos Aires entre 1825 y 1880.

Origen: Irlandés. The name Finney originally appeared in Gaelic as O Fiannaidhe. This name, which was O Feinneadha in its earlier form, refers to a soldier. First found in Galway where they were seated from very ancient times, and where their territories were Ballyfeeney and in Roscommon.

Variantes: Finney, Feeney, Finnay, Finay, Finny, Fynnie, Fynney, Feenay, Feeny, Feaney, Feanay, Feany y otros.

The Irish name Feeney is derived from the native Gaelic O'Fiannaidhe Sept that was located in Connaught Province. The name is taken from a Gaelic word that means 'soldier'. The County Roscommon O'Fighne Sept anglicized their name as O'Feeny and left the town of Ballyfeeny as their legacy.
