The surname Donovan, or its variant O'Donovan, has a rich history rooted in Irish heritage. It is an anglicized form of the Irish name Ó Donnabháin, meaning descendant of Donnabhán. The original name Donnabhán itself is derived from the Gaelic word donn, which translates to brown or dark, and bán, meaning fair.

The O'Donovans were a prominent Gaelic clan that hailed from southwest Ireland, mainly inhabiting County Cork. They were descendants of the ancient Eóganacht Raithlind dynasty, which held considerable power and influence in the region during medieval times. The O'Donovans were known for their warrior-like traits and played a significant role in defending their territories from various invaders.

However, with the arrival of the Tudor conquests in the 16th century, many Irish clans, including the O'Donovans, faced displacement and persecution. English authorities implemented policies to suppress Irish culture, including the Anglicization of surnames. As a result, many O'Donovans dropped the O prefix and took on the surname Donovan to assimilate into English society.

Despite the challenges faced by the O'Donovans throughout history, their legacy lives on through the surname Donovan, which is now found not only in Ireland but also in Irish diaspora communities around the world.
