| Ó Nuallain | Nolan: an-líonmhar tríd an dtír, sa Oir-dheisceart ach go h-áirithe. Clann tábhachtach i gCúige Laighean roimh an Ionradh - bhí sé de dhualghas acu rí Laighean a inshealbhú. Bhí siad lonnaithe sa cheantar Fothartha Fea i gCeatharlach. Sa 16 céad cuireadh craobh díobh go Connachta agus cheap de Bhulbh gur Mac Nualláin a bhí ar a sliocht ach ní dóigh liom go raibh an ceart aige annsan. Cialaíonn nuall glao - glao caointe go sonrach - b'fhéidir go bhfuil fréamh an tsloinne ársa seo ansin. SGG & IF. |
| O'Nolan | fairly rare: Limerick etc. Ir. Ó Nualláin, nuall, short. See Nolan. |
