Malone

Surname list From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Malone (Irish: Ó Maoileoin)[1] is an Irish surname. From the Irish "Mael Eóin", the name literally translates as "bald John", which is believed to refer to being a servant or a disciple of Saint John.[2] Woulfe (1923) explicitly gives Ó Maoileóin (anglicized Malone) as “descendant of Maoleóin,” glossing Maoleóin as “servant of St. John,” and he calls the Ó Maoileóin a distinguished ecclesiastical family at Clonmacnoise with multiple abbots and bishops.[3]
