McAnally

McAnally is an Irish surname. It is the Anglicized form of Gaelic meaning 'son of Cú Allaidh' ('wild hound', 'wolf'). The death of the progenitor – Conchobhar mac Con Allaidh, lord of Cenél Moain, in Ulster – is recorded in the ''Annals of the Four Masters'' in 1178.

In Ulster McAnally, and its common variant spelling McNally, is unrelated to the Mayo name ('son of the poor man'). It is however etymologically related to , a County Sligo sept, and ('son/descendant of Cú Allta'; a variant of Cú Allaidh). Provided by Wikipedia
