2 - Ó Laighin of County Galway, their home district been around Kilconnell. Now rendered Lyons or Lane.

Etymologyedit
Coat of arms of Leinster
Laighin is the Irish name for Leinster,[1][2] the most populated of the four Provinces of Ireland, which is located in the south-east of the island and entirely within the Republic of Ireland. The prefix Ó (common in Irish surnames) creates the meaning "of Leinster" or "descendant of Leinster".[3]
Laighin may also derive from the Irish word láigen, meaning 'spear' or 'lance',[4][5] which lent its name to the Laigin (Leinstermen) who inhabited pre-Norman south-east Ireland.[6]
