Etymology of McNaboe

What does the name McNaboe mean?

The surname McNaboe comes from the original Irish Mac Anabadha, probably from "anabaidh" meaning premature. This surname has often been mistranslated as "victory," from the Irish "buaidh" and so Victory is a synonym of MacNaboe.

Early Origins of the McNaboe family

The surname McNaboe was first found in the ancient principality of Breffny, where the sept was located, in what is now County Cavan (Irish: an Chabháin) in the Northeast of the province of Ulster in the present day Republic of Ireland.

"Many families of this Breffny sept in Cos. Cavan and Longford are now called Victory by pseduo-translation as if Mac na buadha. 1
