Donnelly is O'Donnghaile in Irish, from Donnghaile. The prefix "O"
denotes one who is the ancestor of Donnghaile. The word Donnghaile
translates to "Brown Valor" or "Brown-haired Warrior." This name was
given to someone who was dark and brave.
The Donnellys originally were a division of the clan Cineál Eoghain who
derive their descent from Donnghal the fourth in descent from Domhnall,
King of Aileach -- brother of Niall Glundubn and ancestor of the
O'Neills, the chief family of ancient Ireland.
An original ancestor was Donnghaile O'Neill, who died in 876, was himself
a descendant of Eoghain and ancestor of the royal house O'Neill.
Donnghaile O'Neill was seventeenth in descent from Niall of the Nine
Hostages, the fifth-century king who supposedly kidnapped St. Patrick to
Ireland.
