I cannot find my daughters name, which is Fallon - Irish - Meaning - In Charge.

www.namenerds.com gives the meaning as "leader", and says rather sweetly that since it was never used as a given name in Ireland, it is therefore suitable for both boys and girls.
Which is certainly one way of looking at it!

the meaning is "of a ruling family"

If it's something like Babynames.com, don't trust it. Caprice explained this very well here: http://snipurl.com/ocf3. She's talking about name books here, but everything she says is equally valid regarding name sites.

Click here: http://snipurl.com/obp8. Fallon's probably just a transferred surname.
Alternatively, Fallon could conceivably be derived from Fáelán (Faelan) or Faolán (Faolan) (pr. FWAY-lawn according to NameNerds.com), in which case it's a male name transferred to female usage.
