Ó Conghaile
Ó Conghaile is a surname.
Ó Conghaile meaning "descended from Conghaile" is not to be confused with Ó Coinghalaigh which is a separate Irish Gaelic surname. Despite having their own pronunciations, histories and meaning, Ó Conghaile and Ó Coinghalaigh were both made into O'Connelly, Conneely, Quinnelly, and various other anglicized spellings. This primarily happened throughout the long subjugation and suppression of the Irish people and their native language under the English/British invaders.
Notable people with the name Ó Conghaile include:
- Micheál Ó Conghaile, Irish scribe
- Micheál Ó Conghaile (writer)
- Séamas Ó Conghaile, Scottish-born Irish republican, socialist, and trade union leader
