1. (---)1 Long . He married unknown.
Long In appearance at least
Long is a typical English or Scottish name, derived from a nickname for a tall
person. In addition, the Norman names de Lung and de Long have become
"Long" over the centuries. No doubt many in Ireland bearing the
surname today are of English, Scottish or Norman descent. However, there were
also two native Gaelic families, the Ó Longain and the Ó Longaigh whose name
have been anglicised Long. Ó Longain, also anglicised as "Langan",
arose initially in Co. Armagh, but quickly spread throughout the northern
counties, and is now most common in Ulster in Co. Donegal. It seems likely that
it shares its probable linguistic origin with Ó Longaigh, deriving from long,
"ship", and therefore meaning "seafarer". Ó Longaigh arose
in the south of the country, in Co. Cork. The earliest records of the family,
dating from the fourteenth century, show them as prosperous hereditary occupiers
of church lands in the parish of Cannovee, in the barony of Muskerry in
mid-Cork. This, together with the neighbouring parish of Moviddy, is the area
with which the family remain most strongly associated down to the present. They
took part on the losing side in the wars of the seventeenth century and, like
virtually all of the native aristocracy, lost their possessions. Unlike most of
the others, however, the descent from the last duly inaugurated Chief of the
Name, Dermod O'Longy, remains unbroken. The official title is "O'Long of
Garrenelongy", referring to a townland in the parish of Moviddy, and the
current holder, officially recognised by the Chief Herald of Ireland is Denis
Long.
