- Eoghan = Ewan (Scots), Owen (Welsh)
Eoghan's territory was called the Tír Eoghain (Territory of Eoghan). This name later contracted to "Tyrone" and is synonymous with the Irish county of that name today. From this Ewan descended the families of O'Cahan, O'Cane, O'Daly of Leath Cuinn (= Leath, Ulster, Connaught), O'Crean, Grogan, O'Carolan and others.
Eoghan, Prince of Ulster, King of AIleach, was baptized by St. Patrick at the Royal Palace of Aileach. His foot was pierced by the Bacchal Iosa during the ceremony.
