Meaning, Origin, Etymology
The surname of Farrell or O’Farrell means warrior or champion and the son, grandson or descendant of King Fearghal who was killed in the Battle of Clontarf in 1014. Fearghal’s grandfather was Angall who had established control over Annaly (Anghaile). All variations of the name Farrell derived from the Gaelic name Fhearghail (fhear = man and ghal = valor). The O prefix is a later form of the name and is a form of “Ui” meaning the grandsons or descendants of Fhearghail. The O’Farrell surname can be found almost everywhere in present day Ireland especially in County Longford where it comes in as a close second only to the surname of O’Reilly. (Celtic) Warrior, Champion [Old Irish Ferghal—fer, man + the aspirated form of gab valour] Of course, the later form was O’Fearghail = Grandson or Descendant of Fearghal.

From the 11th to the 17th century the Farrell Clan maintained control over the region Annaly. It was only interrupted by the English invasions of the 12th and 13th centuries. Although after invasions the Farrell Clan regained total control and they had divided it into two seperate domains. North Annaly was ruled by the White O’Farrell and the South Annaly was ruled by the Yellow O’Farrell. Many members of the O’Farrell clan served in the Spanish Army in an Irish Regiment during the Eighty Years War in the 1500’s. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Father Richard O’Farrell, which was dated c1615-1663, Annaly, County Longford, during the reign of King James 1 of England and V1 of Scotland, 1603-1625.
