My name is Daniel Keenan. I’ve been exploring the origins of my family name Keenan. Whilst doing so, I have come across images of other people named Daniel Keenan throughout history.
Those named Daniel Keenan rank around 14th within that population. The first recorded person with the name Daniel Keenan dates back to 1839.
The surname Keenan comes from the historic pre-10th century Gaelic name O’Cianain, which means “The descendent of the faithful one” and is most common in the Ulster and northern counties of Fermanagh and Monaghan.
The Keenan clan’s reputation for producing both important church leaders and early historians throughout the Medieval Period, in numerous instances the same thing, may not have been entirely coincidental. Adam O’Caianain, who served as the canon of Lisgool in Fermanagh, is known to be the first writer in history.
He is identified as the legendary Maguires of County Fermanagh’s historian in the chronicles known as the “Four Masters.”
If the spelling MacKeenan was discovered in Petty’s Census of Ireland in 1659, it is now utterly extinct, and research indicates that the original recording may have been a clerical error.
Sir Patrick Keenan, who passed away in 1894, was the Chief Commissioner of Education in Ireland, and his name has remained connected to education in more modern times.
There have been many centuries since the creation of the Keenan family crest (coat of arms).
Ireland was one of the earliest countries to evolve a system of hereditary surnames; they came into being generally in the 11th century, and indeed a few were formed before the year 1000.
With his helmet covering his face and armour encasing the knight from head to foot, which Daniel Keenan is famous for, the only means of identification for his followers was the insignia painted on his shield and embroidered on his surcoat, the draped and flowing garment worn over the armour.
The Argent (argent, white, or silver) denotes peace and sincerity.
Azure/Blue represents loyalty and truth.
Red/Gules is “The Martyr’s colour”. Signifies Military, Fortuitous, and Magnanimous.
Crosses often represent faith or Christian beliefs, possibly relating to the crusades.
Fleur de Lis representing purity and light. It is also the floral symbol of France.

The West Orange Police and Fire Departments responded to a report of a car accident with injuries on I-280 on July 30, 2019. While Daniel Keenan and other members of the Fire Department discovered one lifeless man on the shoulder as well as additional people with injuries from another collision, the police arrived to find the driver of one of the vehicles unresponsive.
A food truck attempted to pass between a police car blocking the centre lane and the accident scene while the police and fire departments were attending to the scene. Police and fire crews stopped the food truck, but a series of multi-car collisions involving a dump truck, police cars, the fire engines, and other highway users followed. First responders inside the rescue truck giving help to the unresponsive patient were thrown around and struck cupboards and each other until coming to rest when one of the fire engines was struck in the chain reaction.
As the accident’s severity increased and flames could be seen coming from the dump truck, further assistance was dispatched to the area.
As first responders and victims of a car accident were already on site, Daniel Keenan hurried to the rescue truck to assist. All injured first responders and bystanders were sent to nearby hospitals, where they received additional care.
Roseland Mayor James Spango wrote on the Roseland Borough website, “The borough would like to join the 200 Club of Essex County to recognise all of the first responders that day, but especially Roseland’s own, Daniel Keenan, for their heroic life-saving efforts under the dangerous and chaotic conditions that unfolded at the scene.”
