They offer two detailed snapshots of the population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let&#8217;s concentrate on the early decades of the twentieth century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I used online archives to calculate the total numbers by surname. I consider these estimates due to some percentage of transcription errors. So, I\u2019ve rounded the numbers to the nearest fifty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There were 6,700 residents named McNamara on the island in 1911. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong> Ten years earlier, McNamara had about 6,800 residents in the 1901 census. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Population_Estimates_In_The_1890s\"><\/span>Population Estimates In The 1890s<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A study of Irish surnames was conducted in 1890 by the head of the Civil Registrations Office. It was published as a \u201cSpecial Report on Surnames In Ireland.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The survey estimated that there were about 8,600 people named McNamara in the country. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Emigration_To_America_After_The_Irish_Famine\"><\/span>Emigration To America After The Irish Famine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Irish have historically emigrated to Britain, the United States, Canada, and Australia. They were motivated by multiple factors, including social unrest, economic desperation, and hunger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The peak of this migration was driven by what\u2019s known as the Great Irish Famine, a devastating event spanning from 1845 to 1852. Potato blight had a catastrophic effect on Ireland, wiping out the primary food source for a significant portion of the population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I reviewed the McNamara name in the shipping passenger lists arriving in New York during this period. The departures were from both Ireland and England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This picture shows how the numbers rose and fell in the years after the famine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/exploreirishancestry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/McNamara_new_york_passenger_lists.png\" alt=\"McNamara emigration after the famine\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Common_Is_McNamara_As_A_Last_Name_In_The_US\"><\/span>How Common Is McNamara As A Last Name In The U.S.?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Based on the 2010 U.S. census, the name McNamara ranks about 1,549 among Irish names in America with 26,534 bearers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the 2010 census has exact numbers and rankings, the rank I assign here is my estimate. If you\u2019re curious about how I got there, here\u2019s a brief explanation\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Estimating_Rank_In_The_United_States\"><\/span>Estimating Rank In The United States<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically, some Irish families with Gaelic surnames took English-sounding names as translations under the influence of colonization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As these names also have English origins, they will have been brought to the United States by both British and Irish immigrants. Because the census doesn\u2019t ask about specific European origin (e.g. England vs Ireland), it\u2019s impossible to identify the proportion with Irish heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I reviewed the census to identify which names are predominantly Irish in origin. In order to estimate the relative rankings of \u201cIrish\u201d names, I\u2019ve mostly excluded surnames that have varying origins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"McNamara_In_Historic_Times\"><\/span>McNamara In Historic Times<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is fascinating to examine how the prevalence of a surname shifts over the course of time in a country as young as the United States. As well as immigration, this reflects other demographic shifts across the nation. Factors include higher child mortality rates and longer life expectancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The historic census records have been transcribed and digitized. I used online archives to run counts of surname populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the totals can\u2019t be exactly accurate due to transcription errors. So, I\u2019ve rounded the numbers to the nearest 50 in the graph below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This picture shows the numbers every twenty years from 1860 to 1940:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/exploreirishancestry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/McNamara_us_series.png\" alt=\"how common was McNamara in the U.S. between 1860 and 1940\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the numbers in the graph:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>1860: 2,450<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1880: 7,900<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1900: 11,250<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1920: 13,450<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1940: 15,800<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"McNamara_In_World_War_II\"><\/span>McNamara In World War II<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Approximately 8.3 million men and women joined the United States Army during World War II.

The \u201cMac\u201d in Irish names literally means \u201cson of\u201d. The Gaelic words \u201ccon mara\u201d mean \u201chound of the sea\u201d. So, the name translates to \u201cson of the hound of the sea\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The early McNamaras were kin to the <a href=\"https:\/\/exploreirishancestry.com\/obrien-as-an-irish-surname\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"188\">O\u2019Briens<\/a>, and both clans descended from the powerful ancient tribe known as the Dalcassians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their territory was in what is now County Clare on the west of Ireland.
