Gaelic Origin · Root meaning ‘soldier, warrior’
Feeney comes from Ó Fiannaí, built on fian — the same root behind fianna, the legendary bands of warrior-hunters led by figures like Fionn mac Cumhaill in Irish mythology. The family were established chiefly in Sligo and Mayo.
A name that carries an echo of the old warrior-bands of Irish legend, worn by ordinary families in Sligo and Mayo for generations since.
Irish form: Ó Fiannaí
