Is the irish family name O'Coleman of royalty?

no it is associate with the counties of


Sligo


Louth


Cork





most likely they were English invaders who had their names celtafied

Is the irish family name O'Coleman of royalty?
There were lots of little tribal warlords calling themselves kings back then-basically, some ancestor of mine was king of six acres of pasture, one stream and a few hundred square yards of bog. The way I understand it, the Gaelic words for chieftain, king, and grand poo-bah are identical, so something probably got lost in translation.

Irish accent with the name Simon - Does it go together or is he lying?

A guy I met has a thick Irish accent and claims his name is Simon.


I have cause to believe that he is not the most trustworthy of people. (Will explain why if I get a good answer)


My question is, is Simon really a name an Irishman would have?

These days, there aren't too many names that are confined to culture. TV and the internet have brought alternatives to parents and you know how women are. Yeah, there might be a Simon Irishman, and a Ryker and a Dillon and a Hideo, too.
Reply:Yes. Im from Ireland and i know 5 guys called Simon.
