Origins of Nangle:

This interesting name, with various spellings Neagle and Nangle, is of Norman Irish origin. Creatively “de Angulos” the family entered Ireland following the Norman attack of 1170 and gave large plots of land in Division Cork and North Connacht. The Cork section of the family used Nagle or Neagle as an anglicized form of their name and the Connacht section Nangle from the original Gaelicized form de Nogla. After that, the Nangles of Connacht used the surname Mac Costello – a surname created from the Gaelic prefix “Mac” which means “son of” and the Norman particular name Oistealb and its anglicized form (Mac) Costello. Nagle’s Mountains near Ballyhooly, Co. Cork, are called after the Cork section of the family.
