Etymology of ScullinWhat does the name Scullin mean? The ancient name Scullin, originally known as O Sceallain in Irish Gaelic, having derived from a word meaning "kernel." The name was very numerous in Co. Wexford and remains there to this day. People often confuse the place-name Scallanstown in Co. Meath as related to the name, but this place was actually Ballyscanlon. The Scallan variant is common in Fermanagh. 1 Early Origins of the Scullin familyThe surname Scullin was first found in Wexford (Irish: Loch Garman), founded by Vikings as Waesfjord, and located in Southeastern Ireland, in the province of Leinster, where they held a family seat as a branch of Madigan clann. Traditionally they are descended from Fiacha Araidhe the 37th King of Ulster. More directly, they are descended from Scoieach, a chieftain and schoolteacher of the Madigan line and related to the Mannings. Irish history was greatly influenced by the Norman invasion of 1172, and thereafter, the surnames of Irish Gaelic clanns and septs and many of the Norman families became almost indistinguishable. This family name was found later in County Meath and represented the first recorded reference to the name.
