McCarron Family Crest
Origin of the Name McCarron
The origin of the name McCarron was found in the allfamilycrests.com archives.
Over the centuries Surnames developed a wide number of variants. Different spellings of the same name can be traced back to an original root. Additionally when a bearer of a name emigrated it was not uncommon that their original name would be incorrectly transcribed in the record books at their new location. Surnames were also often altered over the years based on how they sounded phonetically and depending on the prevailing political conditions it may have been advantageous to change a name from one language to another.
Variants of the name McCarron
include Carroon, Carren, McCarren, MacCarrin, Growney and O'Growney. These names are derived from the Gaelic MacCarrghamhna sept who were of the Southern Ui Neill in Ireland . The root word of this ancient sept name is 'gamhan' meaning 'calf'. A sept or clan is a collective term describing a group of persons whose immediate ancestors bore a common surname and inhabited the same territory. Irish septs and clans that are related often belong to even larger groups, sometimes called tribes.
When rendered as Carron the name can also be from the MacCearain sept of Tirconnell. The variants Growney and O'Growney are found in County Westmeath. When Gaelic names were anglicized during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries they were often changed to Anglo equivalents that sounded most like their original Gaelic name.
The McCarron coat of arms came into existence centuries ago. The process of creating coats of arms (also often called family crests) began in the eleventh century although a form of Proto-Heraldry may have existed in some countries prior to this. The new art of Heraldry made it possible for families and even individual family members to have their very own coat of arms, including all McCarron descendants.
