This is in reply to info about the names of the High Kings of Ireland. I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for, but I also found a reference to a king dating back to 198 B. C. His name was Lughaidh Luaighne. There maybe two origins, not sure about that.There are (as I'm sure you know) several variated spellings of Looney. This king's last name seems like it would have been pronounced as "Looney." Let us know what you find. Brenda
