Where did the Irish O'Donnel family come from? What is the Irish O'Donnel family crest and coat of arms? When did the O'Donnel family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the O'Donnel family history? The original Gaelic form of O'Donnel was O Domhnaill, which means descendant of Domhnall or descendant of Donal. People who were accounted for by scribes and church officials often had their name recorded many different ways because pronunciation was the only guide those scribes and church officials had to go by. This resulted in the problem of one person's name being recorded under several different variations, creating the illusion of more than one person. Among the many spelling variations of the surname O'Donnel that are preserved in archival documents are O Donnell, O'Donald, O'Donle, O'Donall, O'Donnell and others. First found in County Galway, where records show this distinguished Irish Clann were directly descended from Connell, son of King Niall of the Nine Hostages who died in 371.

A great mass of Ireland's native population left the island in the 19th century, seeking relief from various forms of social, religious, and economic discrimination. This Irish exodus was primarily to North America. If the migrants survived the long ocean journey, many unfortunately would find more discrimination in the colonies of British North America and the fledgling United States of America. These newly arrived Irish were, however, wanted as a cheap source of labor for the many large agricultural and industrial projects that were essential to the development of what would become two of the wealthiest nations in the western world.
