O'Sullivan (Irish: Ó Súilleabháin) is an ancient and prominent Irish surname meaning "dark-eyed," "one-eyed," or "hawk-eyed". It ranks as the third most common surname in Ireland today, with a rich history rooted in the country's southwestern Munster region. Origin and Meaning Derived from the Gaelic words súil (eye) and dubh (dark) or Súileabhán, a personal name. Originally associated with early kings and chieftains descending from the Eoghanacht dynasty of Munster. Historical Migration and Septs Early records place the clan in County Tipperary around Cahir before the late 12th-century Anglo-Norman invasion. Pushed out by Norman expansion, the clan relocated to the rugged regions of modern-day Cork and Kerry. They split into two main branches: O'Sullivan Mor (the greater branch based in South Kerry) and O'Sullivan Beare (based in West Cork around the Beara Peninsula).The clan famously resisted English forces during the late 16th and early 17th-century wars.
