Donalláns

Donalláns is a surname of Irish origin. It is an anglicized form of the Gaelic Ó Domhnalláin, which translates to "descendant of Domhnallán." Domhnallán itself is a diminutive of the personal name Domhnall, meaning "ruler of the world." The name is primarily found in the province of Munster in Ireland. Historically, families bearing this name were associated with the Barony of Kinalea in County Cork. As with many Irish surnames, emigration has led to its spread to other parts of the world, notably the United States, Canada, and Australia. Variations in spelling may exist due to historical anglicization practices. The surname is not widely known for any singular prominent historical figure or event, but rather represents a lineage within the broader tapestry of Irish history and diaspora.
