The Ó hEaghra Clan is an Irish family lineage that traces its roots to the ancient Gaelic nobility. This clan is primarily associated with the province of Connacht in Ireland, particularly in County Galway. The name "Ó hEaghra" translates to "descendant of Eaghra," with Eaghra being a personal name from the early medieval period. Historically, the Ó hEaghra Clan played a significant role in local governance and land ownership. They were part of the broader Gaelic social structure, which included various clans and families. Over time, like many Irish clans, they faced challenges due to English colonization and the subsequent changes in land ownership and political power.
