Clan Mulcahy
Mulcahy is a surname and Clan of Irish Gaelic origin. The anglicized form of "Ó Maolchathaigh" which in Gaelic means ''"a descendant of a devotee of Cathach"''. According to most sources the family originated in County Waterford. However the earliest mention of the family appears in the Annals of Inisfallen in 1317 AD〔Annals of Inisfallen, Entry 1317.7 . P.427,〕 and subsequent references in and around the Churches of County Kerry in the 15th century may point to a connection with the nearby monastic community of Inis Cathaigh in the Shannon estuary.
==Status==
The Clan Mulcahy is currently represented by The Clan Mulcahy Association. This Association makes it clear that it does not consider itself a 'Clan' in the historical sense; but rather "''as a portal for the sharing and celebration of the history of the honorable name of Mulcahy and its many variant spellings''".〔http://www.mulcahyclanofficial.com/the-clan-.html〕 The Association has expressed dissatisfaction with modern Clan Groups who purport themselves as authentic continuations of historical entities. In historical times, Clans were defined as ''"a unilineal (in the Irish case, patrilineal) descent group forming a definite corporate entity with political and legal functions''".〔Nicholls, K.W. Gaelic and Gaelicised Ireland in the Middle Ages. Liliput Press, Dublin.〕 They were not - as is often thought - large communal groups composed solely of individuals sharing a common surname. Most people living in medieval Ireland would not have belonged to any Clan. Even if they shared the surname of a powerful lineage, this would not have been a qualifying criteria for membership of the Clan in any meaningful sense. The Clan Mulcahy Association currently recognizes no Chiefly lineages under the Mulcahy name.
