On June 25, 1788 Virginia became the 10th state.
While the growth of the new nation was exponential, the United States didn’t have permanent location to house the Government. The First capital was temporary in New York City but by the second term of George Washington the Capital moved to Philadelphia for the following 10 years. Ultimately during the Presidency of John Adams, the Capital found a permanent home in the District of Columbia.
Irish (Down and Antrim) and Scottish: from Gaelic Ó hAnnaigh ‘descendant of Annach’, a personal name of uncertain origin, or from Gaelic Ó hÉanna ‘descendant of Éanna’, also unexplained but well attested. See also Hannan . It has been suggested that the name may also derive from Sheanaigh, a genitive case form of the Gaelic personal name Seanach, but this is untenable. This was one of very few ‘Ó’ surnames to be used in Scotland, a phenomenon which was confined to the Galloway and Carrick region.
English: habitational name from Hannah (Lincolnshire), possibly derived from the Old English personal name Hana or Old English hana ‘cock’ + ēg ‘island’.
English: sometimes in East Anglia a variant of Henney .
