== Last name is Molligan == |
|||
Molligan is an Irish surname that was originally written in Gaelic as Ó Maolagain. It comes from the word maol, which means "grandson of the bald man" |
|||
The early origins of the Molligan family were discovered in County Donegal (Irish: Dún na nGall) in the northwest of Ireland, in the province of Ulster (sometimes referred to as County Tyrconnell). There, the family has occupied a family estate since very ancient times. |
|||
The spelling of the surname could include: Mulligan, O'Mulligan, Mallikan, Mulligan, Malliken, and others. This is because in the Middle Ages, the recording of names in Ireland was inconsistent, and the population was largely illiterate, so names were recorded according to their pronunciation.
