You'll get hundreds of locations. Without looking up the details, I know there were a number of Eoghanacht tribes/septs spread throughout Munster. As I recall, they originally came down from the north, perhaps Inishowen (Owen and Eoghan are the same). Have fun browsing !!!!

We have at least two men in our family whose given names are Owen. Where could the name Owen have come from? They are connected to the Lenegan family whose name is said to have originated in Roscommon. Any help is appreciated very much. Thank you.
