Bernard, Great find. I wonder whether Gille Dubh wasn't the ancestor of the Orcanus that James Lamont referred to in 1661? Further thoughts : Duinnshleibhe son of Buirce. I still think Buirce (Boircce) is a good nickname for a large dark man. Questions for Paul Conroy : Could it make sense for Gille Dubh to evolve into Duinnshleibhe? Could Duinnshleibhe become M'Duyne, O'Duibhe and other variations?

Sandy, Could it make sense for Gille Dubh to evolve into Duinnshleibhe? Gille Dubh=Servant or follower of a dark haired person, so I don't see how it could become Duinnshleibhe - unless that is, as already mentioned by others, that a later generation took a surname from a different personal or nickname. Could Duinnshleibhe become M'Duyne, O'Duibhe and other variations? Duinnshleibhte, is 2 parts, the second is related to Sliabh=Mountain, with Shleibhte=Of the Mountains. So Duinnshleibhte=either the Fort (Du/n) of the Mountains, or Duinn (personal name) of the Mountains. If it is the latter, then it could certainly become M'Duyne or O'Duinn and maybe O'Duibhe. BTW, there is a Laois name very similar, Ó Dubhuidhe, which is Anglicized as Deevy and sometimes as Devoy. It is one of the Seven Septs of Laois, whose origin is said to be Cruithin.
