St. Patrick’s Day! Mahoods!

Today is St. Patrick’s Day! My family, the Mahood’s, are originally from County Down, Northern Ireland. My grandfather grew up around Warren Point.

Here’s a bit about the Mahood family name from the Dictionary of American Family Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-508137-4

“Irish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó hUid ‘descendant of Ud’, in which Ó ‘descendant’ has been replaced by Mac ‘son’. The family of Ó hUid were hereditary poets to the O’Neills in Ulster.”

So we started off as poets…in other words, always broke.

In honor of St. Pat’s Day, here are a few other Mahood’s/O’Hood’s ….

Beverly Mahood, @Beverley_Mahood , Country singer/songwriter

Jenny Mahood @jenniemahood , Singer/songwriter

Conor Mahood @conormahood Co-Host of The Wireless Express Show podcast, and 25% of the Gamefret podcast. Dublin

Bill “The Butcher” Mahood , Mixed martial arts fighter

Alan Mahood, Famous soccer player

Ma Mahood, Australian artist

Tony Mahood, Director/Assistant Director

Kenneth Mahood, Cartoonist

and for more Mahood’s go to the Mahood’s Of The World Unite! Facebook page

This list is by no means complete. If you have suggestions to add, just let me know in the comments section….we Mahood’s aren’t always great at staying in touch.

Now for a Guinness…happy St. Pat’s!
