Kennelly

Kennelly is customarily regarded as a boy's name and is imitative of the pre-tenth century Gaelic name 'O'Cinnfhaelidh,' which is made up of two words, 'Ceann,' meaning ‘head,’ and 'faol,' which means ‘wolf.’ Kennelly as a family name was first found in Limerick (Luimneach in Irish), in the province of Munster in southwestern Ireland. They held a family seat as chiefs in the barony of Connello from ancient times until 1172, when Strongbow, the Earl of Pembroke, led an Anglo-Norman invasion that drove them out. Some contemporary spelling variants of the name include 'Kennealy,' 'Kinneally,' 'Kinnelley,' 'Kinelley,' 'Kenelly,' 'Kinnelly,' 'Keneally,' 'Kenealy,' 'Kinelly,'', and 'Kennelly.' Also, some contemporary notables with the name include Tim Kennelly, an Irish footballer; Arthur E. Kennelly, an American electrical engineer famous for his innovations in analytic methods in electronics; Sheila Kennelly, an Australian actress; Joan Kennelly, an Irish photojournalist and founder of the regional newspaper, Kerry's Eye; Tadhg Kennelly, an Irish footballer; Brendan Kennelly, an Irish novelist, poet, and Professor Emeritus of Trinity College; Ryan Shawn Kennelly, an American gold medalist power-lifter; and Keala Kennelly, an American professional surfer, and Action Sports Hall of Famer.
