Mullaney is a surname of Irish origin (from Connacht). It is an Anglicised form of the Gaelic ''Ó Maoil Sheanaigh'' meaning "descendant of ''Maoilsheanaigh''". The Gaelic personal name ''Maoilsheanaigh'' means "devotee of (Saint) ''Seanach''" and the personal name ''Seanach'' is made up of the element sean meaning "ancient", "old". Many spellings of Connacht named omit the ''Sh'' and in consequence one theory is that ''Mullaney'' may be an Anglicisation of ''Ó Maoileanaigh'' "descendant of ''Maoileanach''". The personal name ''Maoileanach'' means "chief of the marsh". An Ulster family, unrelated to the Connacht family, bore the name ''Ó Maoileanaigh''. ==People with this surname== * Craig Mullaney * Dominick F.
