The LOWNEY Family of
C19th/C20th Clonakilty, County Cork, Ireland
Current C19th head is John LOWNEY of Frilane, near Scart, Bantry, County Cork and Mary O'SULLIVAN also of Frilane.
The descendant family is present today in Clonakilty, Co. Cork, but not much is known of the earlier family.
The surname of LOWNEY may be derived from the Irish O'Luanaigh, a personal name meaning a warrior or soldier. Early records of the name mention a Gillacrist O'Luinigh who was documented in the year 1090, and an Edward O'Luinigh was recorded in County Cork in 1300, suggesting an early origin in the county. The name has variant spellings including O'Luinigh, M'Lawney (?Maloney), Lownye, Loney and O'Looney.
