The O'Rourke family is one of Ireland's oldest and most distinguished Gaelic clans, with its roots in County Leitrim. The surname "Ó Ruairc" means "descendant of Ruarc," a name associated with strength and leadership. Historically, the O'Rourkes were rulers of the Kingdom of Breifne, which spanned parts of modern-day Leitrim and Cavan. The family was deeply involved in Irish history, known for resisting English rule and maintaining their independence well into the Middle Ages. The O'Rourkes faced significant challenges during the Tudor conquest and Cromwellian invasions, which led to the loss of their lands and status. Like many Irish families, they also experienced emigration during the Great Famine. Today, the O'Rourke name is a symbol of resilience, leadership, and a proud connection to Irish heritage, with descendants spread across the globe.
