Origin of Ough, Meaning of Ough

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: William Camden wrote in 1586 in "Remaines of a Greater Worke Concerning Britaine" "About the yeare of our Lord 1000...surnames began to be taken up in France, and in England about the time of the Conquest, or else a very little before, under King Edward the Confessor, who was all Frenchified...but the French and wee termed them Surnames, not because they are the names of the sire, or the father, but because they are super added to Christian names as the Spanish called them Renombres, as Renames." So we end up with Thurman. According to at least one respectable text, it came about because of Thor, the ancient god of thunder, and was known in Old Norse as ?orr. ?orr + mundr = Thor's protection, and that became, in Old Norse - ?orrundr, which evolved into the Middle English version Thurmond. Thurman is an English Patronymic Name derived from Thurmond as a given name."

Pg 76
Darragh,oakes ?Before reading these books(Johnsons Scottish Clans and Mac Giolla Domnaigh Some Anglicized Surnames in Ireland for which he states?I am not able to support the statements with any first hand evidence?.) I had thought the MacDarraghs to be of native Irish stock:if Wolf is right in equating the early form MacDwdara with MacDubhdara then it certainly was in Ireland before the plantations of Ulster.
Comments:
I believe MacLYSAGHT was on track at this point but others have led him to stray to the Scottish origin. The Annals of the Four Masters as well as the Annals of Ulster show us the family of ODubhdara as being members of the Clann Lugain and Kings of Fermanagh with a direct descent from Colla da Crich and on to Conn of the Hundred Battles and Updar King of Alba

Here is some further research on the surname. Is it Irish or Scottish??What is common among the two historys is that the name comes from Dubhdara. Here is the earliest (961AD)Dubhdara that I have seen...961AD ? Egneach and his son, i.e. Dubhdara are killed. During the the tenth, eleventh and twelfth centuries after Christ we read in the annals the names of many head chiefs (kings) of the Fermanagh territory. All these bear the surnames of one or other of three families: ? Dubhdara (O'Darrah), ? h?ignigh (Hegney, Heaney), ? Maolruanaidh (Mulrooney, Rooney). All three belong to Clann Lugain, that branch of the Oriel Ui Cremhthainn who were driven from the Clogher area by the Cineal Eoghain of Aileach., son of Dalach, lord of Oirghialla, .

o Fir Managh - Co. Fermanagh. Throughout the 11th and 12th centuries the Kings of Fermanagh - O'hEignigh, O'Maolruanaidh and O'Dubhdara - were drawn from the Airghialla, its Clann Lugainn branch, which is stated in the early genealogies to go back to one of the three Collas, i.e. Colla Fochr?th. The O'Heany or Hegney (? hEignigh) and Mulrooney (Maolruanaidh) septs were noted as kings of Fermanagh (Fer Manach) until becoming tributary to the Maguires (Meicc h-Uidir) around 1202.
The annals cite:
For 1009, Cathal, mac Duibh Dara, tigherna Fer Manach, died.
For 1053, Niall h-?a ?cnigh, r? Fer Manach, was slain.
For 1053/57, Domhnall mac Maol Ruanaidh, tigherna Fer Manach (Fir Mhanach).
For 1076, Giolla Chr?osd ua Duibh Dara, tigherna Fer Manach.
For 1095, Ua h-Eiccnigh, tigherna Fer Manach, was slain.
For 1118, Laidhgn?n Ua Duibh Dara, tigherna Fer Manach.
For 1126, H. Mael Ruanaigh ri Fer Manach,
For 1127, Gilla Crist ua h-Eicnigh ri Fear Manach & airdrigh Airgiall.
For 1128, Faelan Ua n-Duibh Dhara righ Fer Manach.

The question of Scots-vs-Irish becomes very difficult when following the movements back and forth between Scotland and Ireland. Two points ..1.One history claims The Picts were ALLOWED by the IRISH to settle in Northern Scotland with the stipulation that their rulers married Irish Royal women. In the case of the Three Colla line it appears as if it was reversed. The Irish men of this line married many Pictish Royal daughters. Therefore the children of these unions were half Irish. The common historys(with the exception of the Roman theory) show that the three Collas, which the ODubhdara and McDonald Clan both claim descent from, can be traced back to these Pictish Kings(The three Collas were the sons of Eocaidh Dublein, brother of Fiachaid Sraibtine, both sons of Carbri Lificar. The Collas mother was Oilech (aka Alechia), daughter of Ugari (aka Updar) the King of Alba (Scotland), and wife of Eocaidh. Their names were Carrell, Muredach, and Aedh.).Carbri Lifechar(268) son of Cormac (222-266)son of Art(166-195)son of Conn of the Hundred Battles(123-157)What was once Pictish merges with Irish and becomes Pict/Irish. The offsping of this Union due to later geographical location attempt to unmerge with the McDonald Clan claiming descent from the Scottish and the Odubhdara descent from the Irish. Yet as one can see they are of the same stock. It would appear to me that the question of Scot or Irish is a mute point. 2. One must go to the earliest listing of the surname to try to determine its origin. Here in Ireland we have an actual historical listing in 961 of Dubhdara in Fermanagh and U984 Darroch in Derlas. In the descent from the McDonalds and Darroch theory we have no such evidence except folklore. The McDonalds however claim descent from Colla Uais while the ODubhdara are shown as descending from Colla de Crich(Fochrith) If that is the case then one must ask how Darrach is ODubhdara or how is Darragh from McDarrach. To further complicate things I have found in the Annals of Ulster a listing for the FIRST Darrach I have seen. U984.2 Dub Darrach son of Domnalloin King of Derlas was killed by his own people. This line also descends from Ulla de Crich. Why the son of Egneach, was named Dubhdara is unknown and the only thing we know for sure is that Dubh means Black and Daire or Dara is oak.
Another avenue to pursue is the variation of the name Darrow and its relationship to Durrow Abbey which as history tells us was built on a great Oak Plain('Ach' in Gaelic also means 'a field') which was a holy place to the Druids and thus chosen for the Abbey. I at first started to think that Darragh and Darroch were two distinct names. Darragh from Dubhdara(Black Oak) and Darroch from Daire Ach(Oak Field) but here again we are back in Ireland with a claim that Darrow and Darragh are a form of Durrow which means ?Oak Plain? To much like ?Oak Field to not be connected.Perhaps our name is rooted there. Another is Cill Dara (Kildare) meaning ?Church of Oak? which has many Abotts who bear the name Dubh?
In conclusion I must say that I have seen no Scots historys that show the Darrach or Darrock descent from the McDonalds as claimed. We do however have The Annals of the Four Masters and The Annals of Ulster that place both the Darroch and ODubhdara names in Ireland as early as the eight century.
Note: some historys list the father of the three Collas as Eochaid Duibhlein is this perhaps the start of the Duibh or Dubh naming.

Origin: We know according to the history of Durrow Abbey that Durrow came from Dair

Meagh. We know form Wolf and MacLysaght that Dorragh came from Darragh and
Darragh with variations Dorough etc.came from Dubhdara. Now a good example
how Durrow became Durrough cane be found in 'Dialogue of Silvynne and
Peregrynne'(S.P.63/203,no.119) What is clear is that Durrow,Darragh,Dorough
and etc are all the same name. What is not clear is how they can all be said

to have come form different Irish .Daire,Dair Meagh and Dara all have
different meanings in Irish and cannot all mean Durrow. My contention is
that Durrow did not evolve from Dair Meagh and if not what did Columcille
name Durrow after.
I wondered if Durrow Abbey was not named for Columcilles family name.
