Snoddy

Snoideach

Clan Snoddy is of Scottish origin and has been in Ireland since the late 15th century, when some of the clan fled the feuds between the Campbells and MacDonalds. There were other waves of Snoddy migration, ca. 1568 and 1606, before the Ulster Plantation.

Sir Randall Mac Donald gifted lands around Larne, County Antrim, to the clan, and the surname became intimately associated with the townland of Ballysnod.
