Name Meaning
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 .
