Tierney Family History
Recorded in several forms as shown below, this is an Irish surname. It derives from the Gaelic O' Tighearnaigh, meaning the grandson or male descendant of Tighearnach, the latter translating as lord or master. Traditionally Irish family names are taken from the heads of tribes, revered elders, or from some illustrious warrior, and are usually prefixed by O' or Mac, denoting "son of". This surname is especially widespread in County Galway, whereas the earliest recording is found in County Limerick in the early 18th Century (see below). In the modern idiom the surname can be found recorded as Tierney, Tierny,Tiernaney, O'Tierney, Tearny, Tearney and Terney...Select Audience

My great great grandfather was Francis Tierney born 1818 in county Tyrone, parish Drumagh. Looking to visit Ireland next summer and hoping to find family connections.

My Great Grabdmothers Name was (Dorothy) or Mary Dorothy Tierney . I was hoping to find out more about her roots? She was born in South Africa 1905. I would like to try trace her family lineage.
Kind regards??

I note with surprise that you are using my family Armorial on your website. I would kindly ask that you remove this immediately. This is my personal family arms and was granted to my ancestor Matthew Tierney and thence to his brother Edward. It is the Armorial of Thy ร Tighearnaigh of Fearann ร Tighearnaigh. I do not want to take the matter further but I can do so should you not remove this patented Armorial immediately.
