Origins

McLoughlin - (pronounced Mac-lau-'gh'-lin) ('gh/ch' sound as in 'Irish Loch' meaning lake) is the Modern English form of the surnames for two different, but distantly related septs, both of considerable importance to Irish history. 'Mc' is an abbreviation of 'Mac' meaning 'son'/ 'son of'. There are various similar versions of the name (also spelled MacLoughlin, and McLaughlin; and, in Scotland, MacLachlan and McLauchlan).

MacLoughlin of Cineál Eoghain

The McLoughlins of Ulster are part of the Northern Uí Néill. They ruled what is now County Tyrone, Londonderry and Donegal. High Kings of Ireland from this family were -

Ó Máoilsheáchlainn of Clann Colman

The Ó Máoilsheáchlainns of the Kingdom of Mide (presently the counties of Meath, Westmeath, and parts of the counties of Dublin, Kildare, Offaly, Longford, and Louth, all now in Leinster, and part of County Cavan, now in Ulster) are descendants of the Southern Uí Néill.

High Kings of Ireland of this family included:

The Ó Máoilsheáchlainns of Meath lost their lands and their power in the centuries following the Norman Invasion - their homeland of Meath even losing its status and being absorbed into Leinster. The family family were recorded as O'Melaghlin, and after the 17th century, McLoughlin.

In Scotland

See Clan Maclachlan (also spelled McLauchlin, McLauchlan, and so forth).
