hmmmmmm....in the top 10! 8. OConnor – Patrons of Warriors They might not be warriors themselves, but at least O’Connors descend from them! The OConnor name, with its varied spellings, doesnt spring from a common source. The name arose in five areas of Ireland: Connacht, Kerry, Derry, Offaly and Clare and split into six distinct septs. The most prominent sept is that of the Connacht OConnors who gave us the last two High-Kings of Ireland: Turlough OConnor (1088-1156) and Roderick OConnor (1116-1198). They trace their heritage and name from the Irish Ua Conchobhair, meaning from Conchobhar, a king of Connacht.
