http://www.goireland.com/genealogy/family.htm?FamilyId=1311 O) HALPIN, Halpeny


As long ago as 1602 Halpeny was alternatively written Halfpenny in English: then five of this name, both spellings used, were excepted from an intensive pardon to MacMahons and other families of Co. Monaghan. The sept originated there, it was called Ó hAilpín in Irish, an older form of which was Ó hAilpéne, from where the three syllable pronunciation Halpenny came. Halpin, usually found in counties Limerick and Clare, where another sept of the name originated. A distinction between Halpin and Halpeny has existed since the anglicization of Irish surnames took place: in the sixteenth century Fiants, most of the Halpins are from Co. Limerick and

most of the Halpenys from Co. Monaghan; today the neighbouring parts of Meath and Louth are as much the home of the Halpenys as Co. Monaghan.

Other records corroborate this: John Halpeny appeared as a juror in north Meath in 1541 ; in the list of Irish kern mustered for service under the king in England in 1544 of the 27 recruited from the Meath-Monaghan area 14, including the captain, were Halpenys; in 1539 Robert Halpenny is described as hereditary standard bearer to the Flemings (Lords Slane); another John Halpeny was an officer in Belllew's regiment of James 11's Irish army; a Dermot Halpin appeared in a Co. Limerick Transplanter's Certificate of 1653, a Denis Halpin in the Kinsale presentments of 1659 and Halpin is among the more numerous Co. Limerick names in the "census" of that year.

Halpeny is almost entirely confined to south Ulster and north Leinster, Halpin is not exclusively a Munster surname because in modern times there has been a tendency to abbreviate Halpeny to Halpin. 

All the best known men of the name halve in fact been Leinstermen and have all borne the surname Halpin not Halpeny: e.g. Thomas Halpin the 1798 insurgent, a close associate of Michael Dwyer and eventually turned informer to save his life; Thomas Mathew Halpin, the '48 man; General William Halpin (b. 1825) the Fenian who distinguished himself in the American Civil War, Charles Graham Halpine (1829-1868) humorous author, whose father Nicholas John Halpine (1790-1850), the Shakespearean critic, was a bitter opponent of Daniel O'Connell, Patrick Halpin (fl. 1755-1787) engraver, and his son John Halpin (b. 1764), miniature painter; and George Halpin, senior (1779-1854), architect and inspector of lighthouses.
