_Macnamara_, son of a sea-hound. _Macmahon_, son of a bear. _Brien_, the force of water. _Kennedy_, wearing a helmet. _Horan_, the gold of poetry. _Sullivan_, having but one eye. _Gallagher_, the helper of Englishmen. _Riordan_, a royal salmon. _Lysaght_, a hired soldier. _Finnoala_, white-shouldered. _Una_, matchless. _Farrell_, a fair man. _Mohairey_, an early riser. _Naghten_, a strong person. _Trayner_, a strong man. _Keeffe_, mild. _Keating_, a shower of fire. _Kinahan_, a moss trooper. _Kearney_, a soldier. _Leahy_, a champion. _Macaveely_, son of the hero. _Ardil_, of high descent. _Dermid_, a god in arms. _Toraylagh_, like a tower. _Cairbre_, a royal person. _Flinn_, red haired. _Dwyer_, a dark man. _Docharty_, dangerous. _Mullane_, broad head. _Cullane_, broad poll. _Flaherty_, a powerful chief. _Lalor_, or _Lawler_, one who speaks by halves. _Tierney_, a lord. _Bulger_, a Dutchman. _Dougal_, a Dane. _Mac Intosh_, son of the chief. _Mac Tagart_, son of the priest. _Mac'Nab_, son of the abbot. _Mac Clery_, son of a clerk. _Mac Lure_, son of a tailor. _Macgill_, son of a squire. _Macbrehane_, son of a judge. _Mac Tavish_, son of a savage. _Goff_, or _Gough_, smith. _Galt_, a Protestant. _Gillespie_, the bishop's squire. The whole of the above are literal translations without having recourse to _fancy_, or _torturing the originals_; thus, _Macnamara_, called in Irish _Mac Conmara_, from _mac_, a son, _con_, the genitive case of _cu_, a hound, and _mara_, the genitive case of _muir_, the sea; and so of the rest. It is proper, however, to observe, that although the name of _Keating_ sounds exactly in Irish a "_shower of fire_" yet as the Keatings came at first from England, this cannot be the real origin of that name. All the rest are literally correct. H.S. * * * * * ONIONS.
