Ó Rothláin ( /oʊ ˈroʊlɔːn/ oh-ROH-lawn) is an Irish surname. The name is a Patronym meaning "descendant of Rothlán." It is suggested that it is a possible variant of Ó Raghalláin, or Ó Roghallaigh. [1] It is the pre- anglicised, Irish form of the names Rowlan, Rowland, Rowlands, Rollan, Rollin, Rolan and Rowley. [2] [3] The name can also be found spelled as Ó Rothlán, Ó Rothlain, O'Rothlain, Rothlán, and Rothlan. [4] [5] [6]
The Ó Rothláin families have a strong link with County Mayo, and Country Sligo in the province of Connacht, and belong to the Uí Fiachrach. [7] [8] Historically, the family held the role of chieftain (titled as " Taoiseach"). [9] [10] [11] [12]
Dubhaltach Mac Fhirbhisigh states in a poem written in 1417 that, Coolcarney "embraced the territory between Beel Lasa (or Foxford) and the Brosnach river in Castleconnor." [13] William Gregory Wood-Martin wrote that the family territory included Cluain na gCliabhrach (anglicised as Cloonagleavragh). [14] Mac Fhirbhisigh describes "O'Rothlain the Ready" as one of four chieftains in Coolcarney and states that they were a "festive party." [15] Of Coolcarney John O'Donovan stated:
"These are it's [sic] hereditary tribes, namely, O'Rothlain it's chieftain, and Ua Cuinn, Ua Iarnain, and Ua Finain." [16]
Various members of the Ó Rothláin sept are recorded in The Tribes, Customs and Genealogies of the Hy Fiachrach by O'Donovan. [17]
