Ptolemy identifies the Erdini or Ernaigh
as resident in the Fermanagh area in the
second century A.D., and it is probably
from them that the River and Lough
Erne get their names. The Irish name
for the region was Magh Eanagh,
meaning "Country of the Lakes" (hence
Fermanagh) or Magh Uire meaning
"Country of the Waters" from which
the Maguire's get their name. The
Maguire or Mac Guire clan was the
most powerful, and indeed the entire
area was often referred to simply as
Mac Guires country. (Notice how,
centuries later, Maguire was still the
most common name in the county ...)
Lesser clans or septs included
O'Muldoon, O'Slevin, McEntaggert,
McGoldrick, O'Flanagan, O'Corcoran,
McCorry, O'Keenan, McAuley,
O'Bannon, O'Cassidy, O'Devine,
McKiernan, O'Breslin, McManus,
McGilroy, McGarraghan, McDonnell,
