What s in a name? Quite a lot it turns out, if you re lucky enough to be born with an authentic Irish surname that is.
In a new piece published on the ambiguously titled website Ireland Before You Die (IB4UD to its stans), the writer Ger Leddin breaks down the Top 20 most common Irish surnames, detailing their origins and true meanings. Whilst the monikers that make the list are somewhat predictable, the stories behind some of these everyday surnames may surprise you.
Unsurprisingly, Murphy came out on top as the name most frequently encountered in Ireland. However, if holding the most common surname in Ireland has left you questioning how special you might be, fear not as the writer explains the name translated from Irish literally means sea warrior proving the Murphys are not to be messed with.

We ve all been there - it s not even two hours into yet another gloomy Monday morning working from home and you re already seriously contemplating how you might justify an early retirement.
It s easy to idle time dreaming of days you ll spend basking in the Tuscan sun on the patio of your hypothetical villa in the Italian countryside. Or perhaps months you ll devote to chasing the sun around the world s most spectacular slopes with nothing to worry about besides improving your ski posture or what to have for dinner.
Well, the next time you find yourself daydreaming of the golden years, cast your eye a little closer to home. To Kinsale in Co. Cork to be exact because, believe it or not, the historic town was recently named as one of the 9 Best Places to Retire in Europe by none other than luxury magazine Travel + Leisure.

It s safe to say over the last 12 months we ve all had that moment as you stare out the window, coffee gone cold next to your humming laptop, fighting that uncontrollable urge to just hit the open road and escape.
In a year when most months any place beyond your five-kilometre radius can seem utterly exotic, it can be a battle to resist the urge to just pack up and drive away.
But for the Duggan family in Co. Galway - or the Buggans as they re fondly known, a hybrid of both parents surnames (Carrie Budds and Malachy Duggan) - they realised it doesn t have to be a battle. They actually did what so many of us have pondered, bought themselves a camper van and began a truly nomadic lifestyle with daughter Easkey a year and a half ago.
