Lynam, also spelled Lynham, is the Anglicised form of the Modern Irish surname, ''Ó Laigheanáin'' (originally ''Ó Laidhghneáin'' in earlier forms of Irish) which can be roughly translated as someone of ''Laighean / Laidhghn'' (Leinster) descent. It is thought to have its roots in ''Contae Uíbh Fhailí'' (County Offaly), a county in the heart of Ireland and the west of ''Cúige Laighean'', the province of Leinster. It is unclear whether ''Ó Laigheanáin'' was once a ''clann'' (extended family) or ''túath'' (larger community or nation). However, due to the seemingly important meaning of the name, this is possible. There are eight references to the ''Ó Laigheanáin'' in the Annals of the Four Masters, all prior to 1100 AD. The surname is related to names such as Leaneagh, Laighneach, Lynagh, etc. ==People== ''Lynam'' may be: *David Lynam, American drummer *Des Lynam OBE (born 1942), UK-based Irish television and radio presenter *Jim Lynam, an American former college and professional basketball coach and pre-game and post-game analyst for the Philadelphia 76ers on Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia, and daughter Dei Lynam, Sixers Insider at Comcast SportsNet *Jimmy Lynam, 20th-century Irish sportman, known for hurling *Joe Lynam (born 1970), UK-based Irish broadcast journalist *Gerald Lynam (born 1944), American author of "The Best Blackjack Book Ever!!" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lynam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
