Dunnovan History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The old family name Dunnovan is thought to have derived from the place name Dunoon (Dunomhainn in Gaelic), located in Argyll and
Bute,
Scotland, on the Firth of Clyde.
Early Origins of the Dunnovan family
The surname Dunnovan was first found in
Ross-shire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Rois) a former county, now part of the Council Areas of Highland and Western Isles in Northern
Scotland, which emerged from the Gaelic lordship of the Earl of Ross. Today Dunoon is a town situated on the Cowal Peninsula in Argyll and
Bute but was originally a barony in
