Cullen Surname
SURNAME HISTORY

Cullen - Wexford - Norman-Flemish. The surname Cullen may be of Norman or Gaelic origin. The Norman name has been derived both from the city of Cologne in Germany, and from Colwyn in Wales, and was originally "Colyn". In Ireland this Norman family was prominent principally in Co. Wexford, where their seat was at Cullenstown castle in Bannow parish. In the Cromwellian confiscations of the seventeenth century the lands and castle were given to the Boyse family. The remains of the castle are still to be seen. Descendants of the Ó Cuilinn, a name taken from cuileann, meaning "holly-tree". The more than 150 Irish placenames which include "cullen" are much more likely to derive directly from the original word than from the family name.
