英语词汇o’的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

O’. The O’ common in Irish names such as O’Connor, O’Reilly, etc., derives from the Gaelic ogha or the Irish oa, both meaning “a descendant.” Denis O’Connor strictly means “Denis, a de- scendant of Connor.” According to a good story, in the past the O was taken away from the name of any family that didn’t wholly support the Irish Republican cause, leaving us with Connors in- stead of O’Connors, etc. Much as it appeals to the storyteller in me, I can find no proof of the practice. In Gaelic, women prefix the family name with Ni, not O. Playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan once remarked to his son Tom that their family was descended from the kings of Ireland and that their rightful name was O’Sheridan. His poet son replied to the brilliant but ever-impoverished playwright: “Yes, that is true, for we owe everybody.”
