The Conmhaicne or Conmaicne were an ancient tribal grouping
that were divided into a number of distinct branches that were found scattered around Ireland in the early medieval
period. They settled in Connacht, where they gave their name to several territories.
Their name came from a mythical ancestor known as Conmac. Conmac was in turn said to
be descended from Fergus mac Roich and Queen Maeve of Connacht. The word Conmacne means "progeny of Conmac" (ne, a
progeny). Conmac itself means "hound-son" (con, hound; mac, son). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conmhaícne
