Mallon is an ancient Irish last name, the actual Irish name started as O'Mallon as most Irish names start with O" for example; O'Connor and such. Mallon is more considered to be a clan, it has a simple crest as well. It is a single line going diagonal on a shield like shape. The clan has been around for centuries and continues to live on in the U.S.A and Ireland mostly!

In the Gaelic language the name was (and is) originally O'Meallain pronounced [O MALawn] meaning a descendant of Meallain, a name which meant 'the charming or coaxing one'. The sept in Tyrone were the keepers of the Bell of St. Patrick which is now in the National Museum in Dublin.
