Irish Barrons have at least 4 distinct origins
(1) MacBarrons - Ulster Scots
(2) De Barun - Normans
(3) De Barun - French Heugenots
(4) O'Bearain - A North Munster Gaelic name
There is also the possibility that some Barrons are descended from someone with the title Baron which might have occured in the Limerick area as elsewhere
