Ireland was one of the earliest countries to evolve a system of hereditary surnames. More than 4,000 Gaelic, Norman and Anglo-Irish surnames are listed in this book, giving a wealth of information on the background and location of Irish families. Edward MacLysaght was a leading authority on Irish names and family history. He served as Chief Herald and Genealogical Officer of the Irish Office of Arms. He was also Keeper of Manuscripts of the National Library of Ireland and was Chairman of the Manuscripts Commission. This book, which was first published in 1957 and now is in its sixth edition, is being reprinted for the fourth time and remains the definitive record of Irish surnames, their genealogy and their origins.

Really dry, encyclopedic information. The best you'll find if you're researching lots of family names.

This book is exactly what it says. It's a list of surnames, surname variations, and some insights about where those names came from.

This isn't exactly a page-turner if you're only interested in one or two family names.

But, for genealogists, or if you have lots of Irish ancestry (and family names to look up), it's the best there is.

Useful index for Irish surnames

This book included many surnames and their origins, as well as brief background on when the names first came to Ireland (if they weren’t endemic), and it was well researched. Fast postage and excellent condition. Thank you.

Basic overview.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 23, 2020

Don't be thrown by the photo, this is a paperback novel sized book and not a comprehensive reference to Irish family names. Its showing its age - most names get a one or two line reference or so. McLysaght was a latter day convert to the Nationalist cause and likes show off his knowledge of Irish. Only worth it if you can find it at a bargain basement price.

This has got to be the definitive text for the study of Irish names. Written by the former Chief Herald of Ireland it is informative and written in a clear and easy to read format. Great for just dipping into or for serious study

This is a good book but would probably be served better as a reference book in a library as the use for one individual is very limited
