Etymology of MoloneWhat does the name Molone mean? Throughout history, very few Irish surnames have exclusively maintained their original forms. Before being translated into English, Molone appeared as Ó Maoileoin, which denotes a devotee of St. John. 1 Early Origins of the Molone familyThe surname Molone was first found in the Irish Province of Connacht.

Molone Spelling VariationsPeople 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 Molone that are preserved in archival documents are Malone, Mallone, Mallonee, O'Malone and others.

| Molone migration to the United States | + |
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. Early immigration and passenger lists indicate many people bearing the Molone name:
Molone Settlers in United States in the 19th Century- Patrick Molone, who landed in New York, NY in 1812 2
| Molone migration to New Zealand | + |
Emigration to New Zealand followed in the footsteps of the European explorers, such as Captain Cook (1769-70): first came sealers, whalers, missionaries, and traders. By 1838, the British New Zealand Company had begun buying land from the Maori tribes, and selling it to settlers, and, after the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, many British families set out on the arduous six month journey from Britain to Aotearoa to start a new life. Early immigrants include: Molone Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century- Bridget Molone, aged 18, a servant, who arrived in Auckland, New Zealand aboard the ship "Salisbury" in 1876
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Fidelis ad urnam
Motto Translation: Faithful to the tomb.
