Echthighern

Echthighern mac Cennétig, also spelled Echthigern, (died 950) was a son of Cennétig mac Lorcáin and brother of Mathgamain and Brian Bóruma of the Dál gCais in early medieval Ireland.

The historian Geoffrey Keating states that during the twelve-year period that Mathgamain held the sovereignty of Munster, "Echthighearn, son of Cinneide, was chief of Thomond." Donnchuan mac Cenniedi and his brother Echthigern were slain in the year 950 when Conghalach, King of Ireland, invaded the province of Munster. Echthigern was the progenitor of Irish families Anglicized Ahearn, Ahern and O'Hearn with other spelling variations, in addition to Mac Craith (McGrath, etc.), Mac Gonigle (Gunnell), and O'Quirk.
