ireland First Country to
Require SurnameS; Here
Is What Some of Them Mean

The fact is not generally known
that Ireland was the first country in
modern Europe to enforce the adop-
ton of surnames by law. The act
prescribing their general use was
passed more than 100 years before the
Anglo-Norman invasion, whereas sur
names did not come into general use
in England until the days of Queen
Elizabeth nor in Wales till late in the
seventeenth century.
There are some interesting mean
ings attaching to the most well-known
Irish names. Here are few, with
the curious changes of spelling that
have come about since the names first
originated:
Murphy came from OMurphy, Nor
phey, and Morphew, meaning superb
or"
Kelly came from OKelly, Kiely,
Kelley meaning "for war"
O'Connors is derived from Connors,
Conerty meaning "helper."
Dougherty from O'Doherty, Doherty
Daughaday, meaning destroyer"
All Irish names at the first stage in
their history had 90 before them, the
first change consisting of dropping
that "O'." II will not be necessary,
therefore, TO repeat the name with the
20" before it.
Sullivan was originally Sullifant and
SuIlivant, meaning "quick-sighted."
O'Donnell and Mcdonnell and all
combinations of that name were Dom
aid, Daniel, Dona, meaning dark
chief"
AIoloney was O'MulIowney, Meloney.
Mullany, meaning "thoughtful."
Mccormack was O'Cormac, McCor-
mae, Mccormick, meaning "son of the
crown"
Flynn was Flann, meaning red"
Flanagan was Finnegan, meaning
"Druid."
Boyle was Boylan, Boland, Bolan,
Boylin. meaning benign"
O'Brian was Bryan. Bryant Brines,
Bryon, meaning author"
Brady was McBrudy, meaning ship
captain"
Macauley was O'CawIew, McGawly,
McAuly, McAuliff, Cawley, meaning
''echo," or literally, 'son of the rock

TENNESSEE A LEADER

Tennessee is a leader in live stool

the number of animals exhibited, Ten

more prizes than any other one sec
of the country
Some of the more notable winning;
were made by the Lespedeza Farm
Shorthorns. and the Ames Plantation
Aberdeen-Angus. The former re
ceived the senior female championship
on the COW Fair Gift" and the latter
got first on aged bulls with their grea1
