Group Description

A discussion group for McElholms worldwide - a small and select band of people!
This very rare Irish surname may be rendered M'Gillecolme or M'Gillacollom and considered to have comprised the Gaelic Mac "(son of) Giolla"(the servant of) and "Coluim"(Saint Columcille), thus meaning "son of St Columcille's servant". It appears in the annals as Mac Giolla Chalma which suggests a meaning more like "son of Chalma's lad". The surname is native to north Fermanagh and west Tyrone, particularly to the country between Enniskillen and Castlederg. Elizabethan Fiants mention Donogh duff Mac Gillacollum of Corananan, a soldier in county Cavan but not necessarily native to that place.
