McInerney The name McInerney (mac-en-er-nee) - also spelt McInerny or McInnerny - is of Irish Gaelic origin where it is found in the modern Irish form of Mac an Airchinnigh (pronounced mock-on-arc-kenny) and in the old and literary form of Mac an Oirchinnigh and Mac an Oirchindig. The pronunciation of Mac an Oirchinnigh has led the name to be sometimes anglicised as McEnherheny in Irish documents from the 16th-19th centuries.
