MINIHANE was a branch-name always associated with the surname O'Driscoll in Beara, and MARTIN (from a Christian name) with the surname O'Connor. RINN (pronounced REEN) meaning tough or stubborn, DANA (pronounced DAWNUH) meaning bold, and BUEE (from the ancient name BAOI BHEARA = Dursey Island) were branch-names associated with the surname O'Leary. They were obviously hardy lads !! The surname CUMMINS in Beara has many variations. One is COMMONS. But the one that sets the other variations in motion is COMHANE. COMHANE is pronounced like CAMAN (COMAWN) which is the Gaelic for a hurley. That in turn gave rise to HURLEY which is (O) MUIRTHILLE (silent "t"), from which follow MURHILLY, MURLEY, MURHIL, MURIL, and MORLEY. Some years ago somebody in the States told me that her ancestor was HURLEY and that she couldn't find him anwhere. On going through all the variations, I eventually found him in the Allihies Parish under MURLEY. ----- Riobard.
