Looney Name Meaning
Irish (Munster): reduced Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó
Luanaigh ‘descendant of Luanach’, a personal name derived
from luan ‘warrior’. Compare Lane 3 and Lamb
3. Woulfe distinguishes the Munster name Ó Luanaigh from the
Ulster name Ó Luinigh, whence Lunney. However, many
of the Anglicizations are the same.
