Rooney


The Rooney name originates in Ulster but is equally common in Lienster and Connacht, its greatest concentrations in Ulster is in Co. Down. The O'Rooneys, (o' Ruanaidh "hero/champion") were a Co. Down sept who were based in the modern parish of Ballyroney to the north of Rathfriland. The name appears often in the ecclesiastical annals and history of the diocese of Drumore.  Ceallach O'Rooney who died in 1079, was styled chief poet of Ireland. Anciently, O'Rooney served as hereditary bards and poets to the McGuinness family. O'Runaidhin, a name which originates in central Down but which later became associated with south Donegal and north Leitrim. There are two different origins for Rooney in Co. Fermanagh and adjacent areas, the Maolruanaigh were kings of Fermanagh before the Maguires, there names were Anglicised as Mulrooney, then Rooney.
