Evidently from the name of the county in northern Ireland. Irish
surnames are not normally derived from place names, and this surname
is not found in Ireland. It may be a U.S. coinage, perhaps adopted for
sentimental reasons by people of northern Irish descent. For the
process involved, compare Clyde.
