What are some relatively common Irish sur-names of Gaelic origin that do not bear the prefix Mac, Ó, Fitz or de; or have been derrived from an English sur-name. One that occurs to me is Blaney.


Well, the ones that bear a "Fitz" or "de" prefix would be of Norman origin, not Gaelic. A couple of Norman names that have no prefix would be Breatnach and Seoigh (Walsh and Joyce).
