I am originally from near Castleblayney, Co Monaghan. The name was quite common the townland of Tullyraghan (near the village of Oram in the Parish of Muckno). This area is close to the Monaghan/Armagh border.
More generally the name is to be found in and around South Ulster in the counties of Cavan, Monaghan, Fermanagh and Armagh. Variants of the name are Kernaghan, McKernan, Kiernan.
Hope this helps.
