The Irish surname Glynn
is an English form of the Gaelic "Mag Fhloinn",
which in turn derives from "flann", meaning "ruddy".
"Mag" is a form of "Mac", meaning "son". The main
sept of "Mag Fhloinn" originated in
Westmeath/Roscommon, but the name is common in
Ireland today. Other Glynn families may be descended
from Welsh or English families. |
