The Phillips surname in Ireland derives from several sources, but there was certainly a native Gaelic name which evolved into such names as MacPhilbin and MacPhillips.Spelling variations of this family name include: MacPhilbin, McPhilbin, Philbin, Philben, Phillips and others.
First found in Connacht, where historian O'Donovan, in the Annals of the Four Masters (1355) lists MacPhilbin as one of the chiefs of the district then known as Sil Anmachada in east Galway.
Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Benjamin Phillips of Dundalk, who arrived in New York in 1803 aboard the "Diana;" Grace Phillips who arrived in New York in 1805 aboard the "Polly;" Michael Philbin, who arrived in Baltimore in 1834.
