The surname O'Loan is an Anglicization of O Luain. Lambe is a very popular variant of Loane, especially among the scattered O Luain sept of
Limerick. The name Lambe also came to
Ireland through Cromwellian and other settlers from England.
Early Origins of the O'Loan family
The surname O'Loan was first found in County
Limerick, and in the ancient territory of
Oriel, the two places in which two separate septs of the same name existed. The chiefs of the O Luain sept of
Limerick were lords of Deisbeg, but were dispersed throughout
Munster after the Anglo-
Norman invasion. The O Luain sept of
Oriel in the north were scattered as well.
