Hello, I am new to Wikipedia and have no idea how to contact other users.
My surname is Colleran and I am basically looking for the source that connects the surname Colleran to Ui Talcharaine. I have always thought my surname is a likely corruption of Mac Allmhurain, which in Gaelic sounds like Mac All-ooo-ren.
Someone please help me.
Thank you

I have fixed the page. There is no source linking Colleran to Ui Talcharaine. Nmclough ( talk) 13:47, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
The more usual spelling for Old Irish 'wood, forest' is 'caill': http://dil.ie/7742 in DIL, and modern Irish 'coill'
'Cúil' (as distinct from 'cuil', fly) is translated as corner, nook, etc, as in Cúil Aodha: http://dil.ie/13497 in DIL.
Cullagh=An Choilleach is in Mayo, nonetheless 'corner' seems more plausible to me, in spite of Ó Flaithbheartaigh.
Has anyone an opinion on this?
