MULRINE
Mulrine
Mulrine is a Scottish and Irish surname of Gaelic origin. The name Mulrine is derived from the Gaelic name "Mac Maoláin," which means "son of Maolán." The name Maolán itself derives from the Gaelic word "maol," meaning "bald" or "tonsured."
The Mulrine family is believed to have originated in County Donegal, Ireland, where they were prominent in the local community. Over time, some members of the Mulrine family migrated to Scotland, particularly to the Scottish Lowlands.
Like many Scottish and Irish surnames, Mulrine is often found in the form of MacMulrine or McMulrine, reflecting the traditional Gaelic patronymic naming conventions.
Today, the Mulrine name is relatively rare but can still be found among the Scottish and Irish diaspora, particularly in countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia, where descendants of Scottish and Irish immigrants have settled.
The Mulrine surname carries with it a rich history and heritage, connecting present-day bearers to their Celtic roots and the ancient Gaelic culture of Scotland and Ireland.
