Name origins:
Kavanagh, Keevan – Kavanagh is one of the very few ancient Gaelic Irish surnames which has neither the prefix Mac or O: it is wrong to call it Ó Caomhánach in Irish. In Irish it is simply Caomhánach which is an adjective denoting association with Caomhán, in this case St. Caomhán, the first Kavanagh having been fostered by a successor of this saint. First found in Co. Carlow.
