Over the years, Irish names have evolved into several derivatives of the original family name. For example, if your last name is O'Donnell, the evolution of the name looks something like this:
Dónaill » Ó Dónaill » O'Donall » O'Donnell
Or, in some cases, the O' or the Mc is removed from the original Irish family name (which may have been due to an ancestor's migration from Ireland to the Americas):
Ó Mathghamhana » O'Mahony » O'Mahoney » Mahoney
