Origin: According to 'The Surnames of Ireland' by MacLysaght: MacDonagh--Mac Donnchadha (son of Donagh) A branch of the McDermots of Connacht where the name is very numerous. In Connemara the name is usually that of a branch of the O'Flahertys. The MacDonagh sept in Co.Cork were a branch of the MacCarthys; the name is now rare there and apparently many of these resumed the name MacCarthy.

Origin: The Doherty family belongs to that group of clans, known in the Celtic genealogy as Cinel Connell, whose homeland was called Dirconnell, modern county Donegal. These clans trace their origins to Conall Gulban, son of Niall of the Nine Hostages, High King of Ireland, A. D. 379. The ancient Gaelic name, O'Dochartaigh, is variously anglicized as Dogherty, O'Doherty, Dogherty and Daugherty. The original territory of the sept was the barony of Raphone and their stronghold was at Ardmire. Later they extended their way over all Innishown, the peninsula most commonly associated with the Doherty name today. The Annals of the Four Masters record one O'Doherty Chieftan as the chief of all Tirconnel in 1179, A. D. Dispite their dispersal and confiscation of their lands, the descendants of the Doherty clan today stands 15th in the list of commonest surnames in Ireland.

Origin: Donnachaidh is one of the oldest Scottish clans, arriving in Scotland from Irish Picts anywhere from 40-90 AD. My particular surname, Donachy, I have been told is a 'hideout' name members of the clan took after Culloden in 1746. Being a Highland Clan, we were not on the winning side that day. Go to www.tartans.com for a good overview history. The clan is listed under the great hall. It's also known as Clan Robertson. I'm sure what I'm telling you, you already know about. If any info on the name Donachy could be shared, I'd greatly appreciate it. There's not too many of us :)

Origin: Many years ago I was in contact with an executive of the Bryan Donkin Company in England. Among the information he sent me was a large family tree (in my father's possession, I should be receiving a copy shortly)and a brief history of the family. He told me that tradition had it that the family namesake was originally part of the Spanish Armada that came to conquer England. As the Armada sailed against the currents, they apparently crashed and those on board came ashore in Ireland and later moved into England. He also said that tradition was that the name had been Anglosized to Donkin from Donkina (pronounced Don keen nah).

Origin: The VanArsdol surname is a spelling variation of VanHaesdale. Simon Janz VanHaesdale was the first immigrant to the United States to use this surname. Simon was born in what is now East Flanders Belgium and died in Kings County NY. The name is Dutch, and even though the Dutch did not use surnames in their native lands, when they came to the U.S., the British insisted the immigrants have a surname; so many of them adopted the name of the village in their home land as a surname, hence, 'Van' meaning 'from'.

Origin: The name Stapelton (as it was invariably spelt before Richard the Second?s time) is Anglo-Saxon. It means a 'trading village;' 'stapel,' a pile or heap, denoting a place where goods were collected and stored for sale?Dr. Johnson defines it, a 'mart or emporium'?and 'tun,' an inclosure or town. It was appropriate to a village like Stapelton, conveniently situated for commerce, on the border-line between the two provinces of Deira and Bernicia, at a point where the river was passable. But the term 'stapel,' or 'staple,' has long since lost its former signification. From being first applied to the place where goods were sold, it was next given to the merchandise sold there, and is now usually understood to mean the product for which the place is best known. The 'tun' was surrounded by an earthen mound tipped with a stockade or quickset hedge, with a ditch outside, and each township was thus a ready-made fortress in time of war.
