El apellido O'NEILL tiene su origen en distintos clanes ampliamente dispersos por toda Irlanda. En los Condados de Clare, Waterford y Carlow estaban radicados los más fuertes, pero el más conocido se encontraba en los Condados de Tyrone y Derry. De este clan es que provienen algunos de los más importantes reyes de Irlanda. El primero del gran clan O'NEILL del Ulster que llevó ese apellido fue Donell O'NEILL, nieto de Niall, rey de Irlanda, muerto en la batalla que libraron los irlandeses contra los escandinavos en 919 A.D. Desde entonces y hasta fines del siglo XVII, cuando el Ulster dejó de ser la principal provincia de Irlanda, los O'NEILL figuran de manera prominente en la historia de aquel país. O'Hart dice que los O'Neill son de la línea de Heremon, descendientes de Fiacha Srabhteine, hijo de Cairbre-Lifeachar, monarca de Irlanda y N° 83 en el pedigree de los O'Hart. En las listas de pasajeros llegados al puerto de Buenos Aires hasta el año 1880 figuran 24 personas con el apellido O'NEILL entre 1826 y 1873.
The O'Neill family was quite prevalent in Irish history for almost 700 years, until the end of the 17th century. By the 14th century, it is thought that Ulster O'Neills numbered 29,000. They are descendants of Niall of the Nine Hostages. After the death of King Niall Glúin Dubh (BlackKnee) in 919 AD, his grandson Domnall became the first to use and adopt the surname O'Neill.
The surname Niáll means champion. The surname O'Neill is derived from two Gaelic words, Uá Niáll, which means grandson of Niáll. It is also the surname of one of the three most important Gaelic families, the other two being, O'Brien and O'Conor.
The nickname creagh, derived from the Gaelic word craobh, meaning branch, was one by which earlier O'Neills were known. This nickname was given to them because they camouflaged themselves with greenery when battling against the Norsemen near Limerick.
Ulster O'Neills divided into two main branches . The senior branch was known as the Tyrone O'Neills and the newly formed branch was known as Clan Aedh Buidhe (Clan of the Yellow haired Hugh) or Clanaboy. Each branch had it's own chieftain. "The O'Neill Mor" was head of the Tyrone Clan and the Clanaboy Clan chieftain was known as "The O'Neill Buidhe".
Other lesser clans of O'Neills were also formed. They were the O'Neills of the Fews, the O'Neills of Feevah, the O'Neills of Mayo (who were actually descended from the Fews) , the O'Neills of Leinster, the Cor O'Neills, the Leitrum O'Neills, the Meath O'Neills and the Ivowen O'Neills.
The names O'Neil and O'Neill are derived from a number of distinct Septs that were widely dispersed throughout Ireland. Counties Clare, Waterford and Carlow were all strongholds but the most famous Septs were located in Counties Tyrone and Derry. It was this Sept that provided some of the High Kings of Ireland.
Origen: Escocés, Irlandés. El clan de la familia de McNell, O´Neill, desciende de la tribu antigua de Dalriadan de la costa del oeste de Escocia. Su nombre viene del nombre personal Neil. La forma gaelica Mac Neill se traduce como hijo de Neil. La forma gaélica irlandesa original de Neill es O´Neill, que significa a descendiente de Niall.
