De Canton, De Cauntoun – a Cambro-Norman name Gaelicised to De Cannt\u00fan, Connd\u00fan and Cond\u00fan, adopted by a Norman-Welsh family, probably from Canton in Glamorgan, Wales.\u00a0The Gaelic forms were later anglicised to Condon.

The Condons settled in the counties of Cork, Limerick and Waterford.\u00a0The Barony of Condons and Clangibbon in north-east Cork bears their name, the family castle of Cloghleagh being in that area.\u00a0They developed as a Gaelicised sept, but like many other great Norman families, were proud to be different from their native neighbours. This is reflected in the habit of these families to use non-gaelic first names right up to almost modern times.\u00a0Thus David Condon described himself in 1605 as \u2018chief of his sept\u2019.

Their problems in later times were compounded by their adherence to the Jacobites (supporters of Catholic King James II in the war against Protestant King William III \/ \u2018William of Orange\u2019); \u00a0and they suffered in attainders and confiscations accordingly.

In Petty\u2019s 1659\u00a0Census of Ireland<\/strong>, we find Condon listed as a Principal Irish Name in:

County Cork: Barrymore Barony with 13 families; \u00a0the returns for Condon and Clangibbon are missing.

In County Limerick, Connolough Barony we find Condon (x9).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In County Waterford, Barony of Cosmore and Cosbride there are Condon(x6).

In County Tipperary (south), Barony of Iffay and Offay there are Condon (x12).

By the time of the mid-19th century Griffith\u2019s \u2018Primary Valuation\u2019, Condon households are mostly found in: \u00a0Cork (221); \u00a0Limerick (153); \u00a0Tipperary (145); \u00a0and Waterford (99).

In the Registrar General\u2019s Report on Births in 1890, most Condons were registered in counties Cork, Tipperary and Kerry.

Two famous Condons:<\/strong>
David Condon (another David, see above) accomplished Gaelic poet, temp James II<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edward O’ Meagher Condon (1835-1915) was a Fenian; \u00a0involved in the Manchester Raid in 1867, and condemned to death; this was commuted because of his American citizenship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems there is not an active clan organisation for your name,\u00a0at this time<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the revival of interest in Irish culture and heritage over the past 100 years has led to the revival of many Irish Clans. In more recent times, increased access to historical archives online, DNA testing and ease of travel to Ireland has led many individuals to explore their own genealogy and connections to Irish Clans. Some of these have gone on to establish Clan Associations in Ireland, the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and anywhere that the Irish Diaspora has found itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Clans of Ireland Ltd invite those interested in Irish Clans to contact them with a view to explore the possibility of reviving your Irish Clan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
