Cúrann

Cúrann is a surname of Irish origin. It is an anglicized form of the Gaelic surname Ó Corráin, which means "descendant of Corrán". The given name Corrán itself is believed to derive from the word "corr," meaning "spear" or "point." Historically, the surname is associated with the province of Munster in Ireland.

The Ó Corráin family were prominent in County Clare and County Limerick. Their lineage is traced back to a notable Gaelic clan. As with many Irish surnames, the prefix "Ó" (meaning grandson or descendant of) was often dropped or anglicized over time due to historical pressures and emigration.

The distribution of the Cúrann surname in modern times can be found both in Ireland and in countries with significant Irish diaspora, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. While not among the most common Irish surnames, Cúrann is recognized as a distinct ancestral name with deep roots in Irish history. Information regarding specific prominent individuals bearing the surname is less readily available in public historical records compared to more widespread names. The surname represents a small but enduring part of Ireland's genealogical landscape.
