Are One of the oldest Clans (or septs) in all of Ireland, a Pre-Celtic clan whose name meant Blood Red or "ruddy". Researchers believe that this Tribe of pre-agrarian hunters Most likely came to Ireland at the End of the last ice age, almost 10,000 years ago, from the Basque region on the border of Spain and France. First found in the North West of Ireland (Loughlynn, Roscommon) and affiliated to the Ui Neill and related to Niall of the Nine Hostages, the Clan are later found on the north-west tip of Lough Neagh and gave our name to the townland of Loughinsholin (Loch Inse Ui Fhloinn meaning "lough of O'Lynn's island") and Glynn, Larne, Co. Antrim.
