KANE, KAIN, KEAN, KEANE, KEENE
Kane and O'Kane are the most common anglicised version of the Irish Ó Catháin, from a diminutive of cath, meaning 'battle'. Kane and O'Kane are most frequent in Ulster, where Ó Catháin arose as a surname in the Laggan district of east Donegal, as part of the Cinéal Eoghain, the large group of families descended from Eoghan, son of Niall of the Nine Hostages, the fifth-century monarch who founded the Uí Néill dynasty and was supposedly responsible for the kidnapping of St. Patrick to Ireland. In the twelfth century these Ulster Ó Catháin conquered a large territory to the east of their original homeland around Coleraine and Keenaght in what is now Co. Derry, and remained powerful and important in that area down to the wars in the seventeenth century. Their last chief died in the Tower of London in 1628. Two other common surnames McClosky and McAvinney, are offshoots of Ó Catháin. Kane remains particularly common in the Coleraine district of Co. Derry, and in the adjoining county of Antrim.---Clans and Families of Ireland; John Grenham
