Galvan information


Galvan is an Irish surname. Irish surnames have had their original forms altered in many ways. Before being translated into English, Galvan appeared as O Gealbhain, derived from the words "geal," which means "bright," and "ban," which means "white." The surname Galvan was first found in County Clare (Irish: An Clár) located on the west coast of Ireland in the province of Munster, where they are a sept of Thomond. More recently, the family is very numerous in Kerry where it is more often spelt Gallivan.

Spanish (Galván): from a medieval personal name. This is in origin from the Latin name Galbanus (a derivative of the Roman surname Galba of uncertain origin). However it was used in several medieval romances as an equivalent of the Celtic name Gawain (see Gavin ) and it is probably this association that was mainly responsible for its popularity in the Middle Ages.
