Scannlán mac Fearghal, ancestor of the Ó Scannláin family of County Galway, fl. 10th century. Scannlán was a member of the Uí Fiachrach Aidhne dynasty of south County Galway, and is listed in the genealogies as a seventeen-times great-grandson of King Guaire Aidne mac Colmáin of Connacht, who died in 663. His immediate descendants would use his name as their surname, and for a time be of some prominence in Aidhne, but were pushed out of power by their kinsmen and remained only a minor family, some moving to Thomond/County Clare. Scannlán was a kinsman of a number of other men whose descendants also took their surnames from them, such as * Comhaltan mac Maol Cúlaird - Ó Comhaltan/Colton/Coulton * Seachnasach mac Donnchadh - Ó Seachnasaigh/Shaughnessy * Eidhean mac Cléireach - Ó Cléirigh/Cleary * Cathal mac Ógán - Ó Cathail/Cahill * Giolla Ceallaigh mac Comhaltan - MacGiolla Ceallaigh/Kilkelly Though in many cases the relationship between these men was quite distant, Scannlán would have been a contemporary or near-contemporary of almost all of them. ==References== * ''The Surnames of Ireland'', Edward MacLysaght, Dublin, 1978. * ''Irish Kings and High Kings'', Francis John Byrne, 2001 (second edition). * ''The Great Book of Irish Genealogies, 257.9, pp. 586-87, volume one, Dubhaltach MacFhirbhisigh; edited, with translation and indices by Nollaig Ó Muraíle'', 2003-2004.
