The MacNeils of Barra claim descent from a prince of the Uí Néill dynasty, Ánrothán Ua Néill, son of Áed, and grandson of Flaithbertach Ua Néill, King of Ailech and Cenél nEógain. [1]
The Leabhar Chlainne Suibhne tells the story that Aodh Athlomhan had two sons who quarrelled, Anradhan and Domhnall; though Anradhan was the younger, he took his father's place as chief of the clan, but cursed by Domnhall, Anrahan left Ireland to settle in Scotland.
