Name Origin

The word 'duarcán, from which Durkan is presumably derived. means a pessimist.

In County Sligo, the name is said to have been adopted by a branch of the O'Haras, an important sept descended from the distinguished Eaghra, chief of Leyny in that county. In an Inquisition made in the reign of James 1, (1603-1625), several landholders in the barony of Gallen, County Mayo, bear the names Mac Durcan, Mac Durkain and Mac Curkan. Bartley Durkin, "a labourer", aged 22, who embarked from Liverpool on the ship "Niagra" bound for New York was a famine emigrant to that city. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of O'Duarcan, which was dated 1225, "Burial Records of County Sligo", during the reign of King Henry 111 of England, "The Frenchman", 1216 - 1272.
