One Ó hAonghusa family were located at Cill Bheagáin, in the Kingdom of Uí Failghe, in the Irish midlands.
Another family surnamed Ó hAonghusa were found at Ros Ailithir, in the Kingdom of Desmond.
According to historian C. Thomas Cairney, the O'Hennessys were one of the chiefly families of the Corca Laoghdne tribe who in turn came from the Erainn tribe who were the second wave of Celts to settle in Ireland from 500 to 100 BC.
