GEANEY Family History
Recorded in a wide variety of spellings including MacGinney, McGinney, Geaney, Ginney, Ginny, Geane, Gaine, McGuiney, MacGeneay and O'Geaney, this Irish surname seems to refer to a prisoner. The derivation is from the ancient Gaelic pre 10th century Mac (or O) Geibheannach which translates as "The son (or descendant) of the fettered one". Quite who was "fettered" and for what reason is unclear, but certainly some of the early members of the "clan" had unfortunate experiences. It maybe that in the medieval period, around the time in the 13th and 14th centuries when surnames throughout the British Isles were become hereditary, that the original nameholder was a religious prisoner...Select Audience
