McAnally is an Irish surname. It is the Anglicized form of Gaelic Template:Langx meaning 'son of Cú Allaidh' ('wild hound', 'wolf').[1] The death of the progenitor – Conchobhar mac Con Allaidh, lord of Cenél Moain, in Ulster – is recorded in the Annals of the Four Masters in 1178.
In Ulster McAnally, and its common variant spelling McNally, is unrelated to the Mayo name Template:Langx ('son of the poor man').[2][3][4] It is however etymologically related to Template:Langx, a County Sligo sept, and Template:Langx ('son/descendant of Cú Allta'; a variant of Cú Allaidh).[5]
History
The MacAnallys were of the Cenél nEógain, a large and powerful confederation of clans descended from Eógan mac Néill (Template:Flourished), son of Niall of the Nine Hostages. The MacAnally sept of County Tyrone were descended from Conchobar mac Con Allaidh (Template:Flourished), chieftain of Cenél Moain. A minor sept derived from their eponym Cú Allaidh Ó Luinigh, the family fostered Niall Conallagh O'Neill, tanist of Tyrone, who derived his sobriquet. A prominent branch ruled from their seat of Lisanally (Template:Langx) in what is now County Armagh.[6][7] Another branch settled in Clandeboye, County Antrim and became hereditary physicians to the O'Neill Kings of Clandeboye (Template:Langx).[8] In the 17th century, the family lands were confiscated following the Flight of the Earls and subsequent Plantation of Ulster.[2]
The status of the family is fully recognized in the Annals of Ulster and Ceart Uí Néill.[2]
