Cooney

From the Irish Gaelic Ó Cuana. Cuana may be derived from the word for "handsome", or the given name CUÁN, meaning "little wolf" or "little hound". The Cooney sept originated in County Tyrone in Northern Ireland and spread south and west, and is now principally found in Northern Connaught. The motto for the name Cooney is 'Virtue is the only nobility, and the shield is a silver arrow with the tip pointing to the left above the forward-facing palm and fingers of the right hand on a green field.

In various forms, the name dates back to the 12th century. It is first associated with County Tyrone then in the province of Connaught, in the townland of Ballycooney, Loughrea barony, in County Galway, then to County Clare, County Mayo, and Dublin.

Alternate spellings are O'Conney, Coony, Coonahan, Coonihan, Coonie, Coonan, Coumey, (Coomey) and Cooihan. Alternate spellings of O'Cuana are Cuana, Coona, O Cuanaic, and O'Cuanaich. Some with the name, Coonifer, Coonihan and Coumey, the latter mainly from County Cork, have been changed into Cooney.

Spin-a-cooney

An urban flourish usually excercised in football. The 'Spin-a-cooney' involves the person in possesion of the game ball turning a minimum of 360 degrees, completely unnecceceraly, gaining respect and kudos from fellow teammates.
Whilst the team (being used to playing in the ghetto) celebrated the execution of a Spin-a-cooney, the crowd couldn't help but look onward, bemused.
