The modern Flannery Clan are descendants of three distinct septs of people, namely Ó Flannabhra of Uí Fiachrach Muaidhe in Connaught, Ó Flannabhra of Uí Fidhghente in Munster, and Ó Flannghaile of Uí Fiachrach Muaidhe.
Flannabhra means “red eyebrow” and possibly refers to a person with prominent red hair, and Flannghaile means “red valour” and possibly originated from a person who displayed valour in combat or sport.
The official Flannery clan website is a good place to find more about your name and descendency.
