Mullach Abu - "The Hills Forever"

The name O'Regan is derived from its Irish language form O Riagain which is thought to derive from the word "ri" meaning king. The name is currently listed at number sixty six on the list of most common names in Ireland.

The O'Regan name is predominantly found in the province of Munster, especially in County Cork. O'Regan's have been present in the north Cork Blackwater valley since the twelfth century and in the south Carbery region since the sixteenth century.

There are about 9000 O'Regans in Ireland with that number increasing 10 fold in areas all over the world due to the number who left their homeland for other parts of the world. This blog represents one family of O'Regan who left Schull, County Cork to settle in Melbourne, Australia.
