The history of the last name Condron

The surname Condron is of Irish origin, with roots dating back to the 16th century. It is believed to have originated in County Tipperary, Ireland, where the name was initially spelled Connryn or Conryn. The name is derived from the Old Irish word "condair," meaning a confidant or a keeper of secrets.

In the 16th century, the Condron surname was found in various Irish records and manuscripts, including the Annals of the Four Masters, a chronicle of medieval Irish history. One notable early reference is from 1593, where a Conryn Og is mentioned as a member of the Ó Cuirc (O'Quirk) clan in Tipperary.

The earliest recorded example of the Condron surname dates back to 1601, when a Connryn O'Quirk was listed in the Fiants of the Tudor Sovereigns, a collection of official documents from the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. This record suggests that the Condron name was closely associated with the O'Quirk clan in Tipperary during that period.

Over time, the spelling of the name evolved, with variations such as Condran, Condren, and Condrin appearing in various records. One notable figure from the 17th century was Patrick Condron, a Catholic priest who was born in Tipperary in 1631 and served as the chaplain to the Earl of Westmeath.

In the 18th century, the Condron surname began to spread beyond County Tipperary. One prominent individual was Michael Condron, a merchant and landowner from County Galway, who was born in 1725 and played a significant role in the local community.

Another notable figure was John Condron, a soldier who fought in the American Revolutionary War. Born in County Tipperary in 1754, he served in the Continental Army and was present at the Siege of Yorktown in 1781, which marked the decisive victory for the American colonies over the British forces.

In the 19th century, the Condron surname continued to be found across Ireland, with some members emigrating to other parts of the world, including the United States and Canada. One notable individual from this period was James Condron, a writer and journalist born in County Tipperary in 1835, who published several works on Irish history and culture.

Overall, the Condron surname has a rich history rooted in the Irish county of Tipperary, with a lineage that can be traced back to the 16th century. Despite variations in spelling over time, the name has maintained its connection to its Irish origins and has been carried by individuals from diverse walks of life throughout the centuries.
