ArchivesRe: "Delaney" is not an English name...Nor French!!!
in reply to a message by dubslaine
So?
The surname Delaney IS from Norman origin. The use or not to Anglicize a legit Irish surname doesn't change the etymology of the surname.
A lot of information about Irish history, but nothing about a phylological explanation to justify the Celtic linguistic origin of the form Delaney (basically its linguistic evolution from Dubhslaine).
Your information and links only show that:
1) Dubhslaine is a historical Irish surname and name
2) and that it had been matched with the Norman surname Delaney to Anglicize it (as a lot of other Irish names and surnames which had been matched with non-related English names and surnames).
