The Brazil Name  – Origins – Records

The name ‘Brazil’ is recorded in several spellings including, Brassill, Brazil, and Brazeall, this surname has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the South American country. It is Irish and was formerly only recorded in ancient times in the South East corner of County Wexford. It derives from the pre 10th century Gaelic O’Breasil, which translates  literally as “The descendant of the one involved in strife”.

Almost all Gaelic surnames have a nickname as the base and usually from ten centuries or more ago. These base names referred to the real or supposed characteristics of the then chief. Some of these characteristics were very robust indeed and included such meanings as “ugly head” or “fickle”, which not everybody would regard as Complimentary. This does not seem to have worried the people of ancient times, suggesting perhaps that to them the meaning at that time, may have been different from today’s interpretation.

Early examples of the surname recording taken from authentic surviving records and charters include William Braseile, the son of John Braseile, christened at the church of St. John the Baptist Dublin 7th November 1652, Thomas Brazil a witness at the town of Waterford 19th October 1863 and Hannah Brassell a witness in Newmarket-on-Fergus 22nd July 1864.

The Brazil name is also found in County Armagh where they held a family seat from ancient times. They were descendants from Fiachrach Casan, the progenitor of the Clann Brassil, he was the son of King Colla da Crioch, one of Ireland’s greatest kings, who was banished to the Hebrides in 327 A.D. after losing his fight for the High Kingship of Ireland, Cola da Crioch returned to Ireland in 357 A.D.

Brazil, Brassil, these two anglicised forms of the Irish surname O’Breasail are now about equal in number, they are found mainly in counties Waterford and Offaly. A century ago they were located in counties Tipperary, Kilkenny, Limerick and Kerry, but more recent statistics indicate that the name has become rather rare outside of county Waterford. The name O’Brasil occurs there as early as 1308: the old name of Lysaghstown in County Cork and the County Waterford border was Baile ui Bhreasail and O’Bressyl occurs in County Cork in 1285. Sixteen and Seventeenth century records are rich in reference to the name. The prefix O, now quite obsolete with Brazil, is retained with the Tudor Faints, but as early as 1537, when Brassell occurs among the commoners of Kilkenny, and in 1551 when Mahowne Brassill, a kern, was convicted at Clonmel of having stolen cattle, it is omitted. In the “census” of 1659 Brassell is returned as a principle Irish name in the County Waterford barony of Upper-Third: as it occurs ten times in the Tipperary Hearth Money Rolls of 1665-67 in various spellings also without the O. Other seventeenth century men of interest were John Brassell of Ballycargin County Wexford, who was High Constable of the Barony of Gorey in 1608, and Denis Brazill of Ballydufff of the same county, attained as a Jacobite after the failure of that cause.  West Offaly was one of the homelands of the Brazils. However, he  probably  was a MacBrassill, a name which occurs in the Elizabethan Fiants in County Galway and is that of a small but distinct sept almost if not quite extinct. Brassil or Brazil: the name is also found in Dublin, Wicklow, Mid-West Kerry, Offaly and Laois.

The sept of O Breassil has no connection with the clan Bhreasail, which was the tribe name of the Ui Bhreasail of Oriel.

During the Plantation of County Leix (Laois-Queens County), a number of Irish tribes were removed by a man called Crosby (he was actually called MacCrossan) into County Kerry.

The Brazils of Waterford were a major family name in Waterford in the 1659 census returns.

The Brazils of Dublin show a record of a Thomas Brasyell of 1470 as the Grammar Master of St. Patrick’s School, other records show Brazils in 1751 1652, 1655, 1658 From Dublin Street Names & Dates explained 1882

Brazils are also listed in The Syncronised Annals by D P MacCarthy Royal Irish Academy.

In reviewing the writings of the history of the Brazils in Ireland, these records cover marriages, battles, murders, pillages, burnings, power struggles, land grabbing, clerical appointment, weather conditions and information on specific family’s.  It gives an insight into the Ireland of yesteryears before the English came and conquered the nation.  Ireland then, was made up of many Kings, Chiefs and War Lords, similar to far Eastern countries such as Afganistan, the big difference was that the Irish were at war with one another whilst the Afganistanie peoples banded together as a force to fight the invaded. The Irish Chiefs did not fight as a group but amongst themselves.

In the early years the Brazil’s were involved at the top level of power (Kings, Clans, Chiefs and War Lords), but by the 1700’s they seem to have become ordinary citizens with a limited distribution of family’s in the south and midlands of Ireland.  Family’s also change religion to hold unto lands and position depending on who was in power at that time as did many other families.

In reading “Ulster m1641 Aspects of the Rising”, the series of articles contained therein give an insight into the conditions which the English created which has left such a legacy of trou8bles on this island even to this day.

In the 1641 Depositions on Shenane Brassell of Waterford a spinster is involved in a murder and Alexander Brassil a Commissioner of Athlone  is listed under County Donegal. From TCD 1641 Depositions.

Phelim Coach O’Neill was a prince of the Cenel  nEoghain from 1517-1542

The first son of the King Conn Bacach O’Neill , Conn came from a long line of Ulster Kings and was known throughout all the O’Neill provinces as “The O’Neill” of the most supreme among the O’Neills Lords. Phelim’s mother was Lady Alice Fitzgerald, the daughter of Gerald Fitzgerald, 8th Earl of Kildare. His father and maternal grandfather were probably the two most powerful men in Ireland in the 1540’s.

Phelim Coach (The Blind) was the eldest son of Conn O’Neill, 1st Earl of Tyrone, then King of Tir Eoghan. Phelim was raised in the Gaelic fashion at the family castle in Dungannon County Tyrone and was groomed to one day be the King of Tir Eoghan himself. At the time of his birth, his uncle was King, but at his death in 1519, his father assumed the throne of Tir Eoghan, and the over-chief-ship of all three O’Neill houses: Tir Eoghan, The Fews, and Clanaboy. He was the supreme ruler of all of Ulster. Phelim grew up learning the diplomacy and the art of rule and war in Northern Ireland. He took part in activities of his father’s kingdom, including a stint as a hostage to the English just before his death. A part of Irish culture of that period was raiding. Raids against neighbouring lords for cattle, was a primary past time for young noblemen. Especially in Ulster, cattle, was the main element of wealth. Thus raiding punished or promoted a junior Lord in the O’Neill world. The O’Neills had a continuous series of battles with the Antrim Scots led by the MacDonells.

Phelim was married to Honora O’Neill, daughter of Sir Phelim O’Neill, Lord Edenduffcarrick and the Clanaboy O’Neills. They had a son named Tirlough Brassileagh O’Neill. He gained this patrimony on being fostered by the Clan Brassill in Southern Ulster after the death of his father.

Events surrounding his death: It was a raid against neighbouring Scottich Clan the McDonalds of Antrim that cost him his life. In early 1542 he was cut down by a single thrust from a MacDonell gallowglass according to his obituary in the Annals of the Four Masters of Ireland. Phelim Coach died prior to his father’s submission to King Henry VII. One is left to wonder what might have happened had Phelim lived. After Phelim died, Conn Bacach was left with Shane, a boy of only 6 or 7 years old and an illegitimate teenage son named Mathew Kelly. Had Phelim lived perhaps the warfare of the 1550-1560’s might not have taken place. From Annals of the Four Masters A.D. 1542.

O’Neill, the Ancient and Royal Family Tirlough Brassileagh O’Neill: was the son of Phelim Coach O’Neill, Prince of Cenel nEogain. As the grandson of Conn O’Neill, then later King and later Earl of Tyrone, he was fostered by the McCann clan in the area of the south of Lough Neagh know as Clan Brassill area. When Tirlough’s father died in 1542, he and his family were quickly pushed aside by the internal politics of O’Neill dominated Ulster. As a son of Conn Bacach, he would eventually be able to attempt a try at the Chiefship of all the O’Neills and thus was seen as a threat by his uncles Shane O’Neill (nicknamed “An Diomss” or “The Proud”) and Mathew Kelly (Fedrocha), Baron of Dungannon.

In spite of his uncles warfare and attempts to push Tirlough out, he eventually outlived both uncles and grew to some importance in the turmoil of the late 16th century. Turlough stood for elections as The O’Neill Mor in 1583 when it was though that Sir Tirlough O’Neill, the reigning O’Neill Mor had died and led sizable groups of fighting men in 1575 and throughout the 1590’s during the nine years war. He is listed as having the ability to raise “50 Horse and 200Foot” soldiers out of his territories at 24 hours’ notice to fight.

He again made a bid for the Chiefship in the 1590’s, but his cousin, Hugh O’Neill 3rd Earl of Tyrone bough him off with a gift of territory. In 1595 the English make reference to him as being part of the leadership in Ulster, but too old to worry about, and he died sometime later.

Turlough Beassileagh was married to Anabla O’Reilly, a daughter of the O’Reilly of Cavan. They had children: Con and Hugh McTirlough. These sons fought in the nine years war raiding neighbouring clans and fought in the 1608 Rebellion.

1641 Two Breasail families are recorded as making a depositio0n following the 1641 massacres.

The Book of Ballymote cites Sil Colla Focrich; of the stock are Airthera, Rigradh Dartraighe Coindinse, UI Meth, Fir Fernmuighe, Fir Manach Fir Lemna, Sil Duibtiri, Ui Briuin Archoill, Fir Roiss, Ui Maine, Fir Dubhshlat, Ui Cennfhada, Ui mic Brocc, Ui Echach bega, Ui Echach mora, Ui Dortaind, Ui Niallain, Ui Conaill, Ui Bresail of Macha and Mughdorn, Ui Cremthaind, and Ui Luain with relatives.

From Colla-da-Chrioch are claimed to descend some of these noble families of Ulster and elsewhere- Boylan, Brassil, Cahil, Callaghan, Carbery, Carey, Carroll, Cassidy, Conan, O’Connor, Corrigan, Cosgrave, Devine, O’Donnell, Donnelly, Duffy, Dwyer, Fogarty, Garvey, Gavin, Hanlon. Hart, Higgins, Hollgan, Kelly, Kennedy, Keogh, Lane, Larkin, Leahy, Lynch, MacCabe, MacDaniel, MacKenna, MacMahan, MacManus, Madigan, Madden, Maguire, Malone, Mooney, Muldoon, Norton, Orr, Traynor, Tully etc.

Airghialla – the Tribes of the Three Collas.

The Airghialla were a loose federation of tuath, largely located in the modern province of Ulster. Their territory, depending on timeframe, included much of what includes the modern counties of Monaghan, Armagh and Fermanagh.

The Book Of Fenagh states the sub-territories of Airgialla were: Ui Niallain (Oneilland baronies of County Armagh); Ui Bresail (now includes the baronies of Oneilland).

The Book Of Ballymore A Meg Mathgamma Genealogy: Mugdoran – County Monaghan. The Mugdorna territory stretched from Monaghan south as far as the river Boyne at Navan. The early chiefs of Mugdorna are stated to be descendants of one of the Three Collas i.e. Colla Mend.

An early genealogy of Sil Colla Mend, which appears to relate to the Ua Machainen of Mughdorn: Maelruanaid and Congalda m. Gillacrist m. Amlaimh m. Aillene m. Osene m. Scolaigi m. Machainen m. Suibne m. Artraich m. Aillene m. Mailail m. Mailbresail m. Maelduin m. Aillene m. Ail m. Misene m. Fergusa m. Duach m. Breasail.

Airthir (Airtheara) was cantered in County Armagh. The Airthir had split into the main septs by the 8th century, the Ui Niallain, the Ui Bressail, and the Ui Echdach. About the 10th century some of the major groups in the modern County Armagh region included Ui Meith, the Ui Niallain and the Ui Bresail.

An early Airthir Genealogy by Laud 610 shows Ua Bressail Macha and Ua Bresail Airthir, descendants from Conchobhir Chorraig m. Mailduin m. Finghin m. Ronin m. Thuathail m. Ailella m. Conaill m. Feicc m. Bressail m. Feidlimthe m. Fiachach m. Colla Fochrich.

Ui Bresail – Northern Armagh. The annals of 1155 cite Amhlaibh MacCann as ‘Pillar of Chivalry and Vigour of Cinel Eoghain’. Other noted chiefs included O’Keelaghan (oCeileachain) of Ui Breasil Airthir. O’Dugan (Poems) cites the sept of Gairbhith fierce chiefs of Ui Breasial of Macha as well as the sept of Mag Suilechain over Clann Breasail, and also the septs of the O’Longains, O’Duibheamhanas and O’Conchobhairs all of the western Ui-Breasail.

MacFirbhis (Book of Genealogies) describes a Clan Bresail, alias Muinter Domnallain, cited between Ballinasloe and Loughrea in Ui Maine (Connaught).

An early genealogy of the Ua Bresail Airthir by Rawlinson: Lorcan m. Gilli Padraic m. Madain m. Aeda m. Trenfhir m. Celechain m. Garbith m. Aeda m. Mael Duin m. Donngaile m. Buachalla m.

Conchobuir Chorraig m. Mailduin m. Finghin m. Ronain m. Thuathail m. Ailella m. Conaill m. Feicc m. Bressail m. Feidlimthe m. Fiachach m. Colla Fochrich.

The annals cited territories of Ui Meic Uais in the regions of Mudhe and Brega, that is within the counties of Westmeath and Meath.

The Annals cite for Ui Mic Uais: for 851 Maol Caurarda Mac Maoil Brewasail, tigherna Ua Mic Uais Airghiall, died.

An early genealogy of the Ui Fiachrach Arda Sratha from the Book of Ballymote is 787 Mael Bresail, mac Aedha, Mic Crichain, tigherna Ua Fiachrach.

Ui Echach – The Ui Echach of Oirgilla, in Tuath Echach, comprised the barony of Armagh.

The Airthir (of Airghialla) had by the 8th century split into three main septs, the Ui Niallain, the Ui Breasail and the Ui Echdach.

The Annals cite for the general term Echach: Dal n-Araidhe was the name of the territory in southern County Antrim and part of County Down where St. Patrick was held as a slave during his young manhood.

An early genealogy of the Dal Araide is cited by Rawlinson as: Donnall m. Conchobuir m. Echri m. Flathroi m. Aeda m. Loingsich m. Meicc Etich m. Lethlabair m. Loingsich m. Tomaltaich m. Indrechtaich m. Lethlabair m. Echach Iarlathi m. Fiachnae m. Baetain m. Echdach m. Condlae m. Coelbad m. Cruind Ba Drui m. Echach m. Lugdach m. Rossa m. Imchada m. Feidelmid m. Caiss m.

Other Records

The Brazils of Dublin pre 1864: Rev Fr. Raymond Maher CSSW has extracted Brazil references from directories taken at random every few years. The first reference is in the Franchise Rolls for 1470 where a Thomas Brasyell is recorded with the occupation of Grammar Master of St Patrick’s Grammar School which was attached to St Patricks Cathedral. In St John the Evangelist Dublin are the baptismal records of Jeane 1651, William 1652, Johne 1655 and Marie 1658 children of Johne Braseil. In Dublin Street Names shows Brazill-ct of Winetavern Street, a Richard Brazill a plumber in 1763 at 12 Wintavern Street.

A Richard Brazill m. 24th September 1747 in St Andrews, another Richard 23rd April 1757 in St Marks and another Richard m. 14th February 1774 in St Audeon’s.

A William Brazell is listed in a 1778 trade directory as a cooper at 37 Ushers Quay, In 1790 a listing of Patrick Brazil a silk dyer at 16 Abbey Street, a Michael Brazil a flour & corn factor at 45 Townsend Street, in 1814 a D Brazill at the Silk Warehouse 11 Parliament St and P Brazil a silk dyer at 13 Mary Street.

A record in 1814 shows a Patrick Brazill a silk and cotton dyer at 14 South King Street. In the 1819 issue he is recorded at 7 Henry Street and in 1821-1825 at 15 Mary Street Dublin.

In 1833 a John Brazil a bottle seller is listed at 26 Liffey Street, a Thomas Brazil a victualler at 20 Royal Row Ormond Market. Four other Brazils are listed during 1834-16 also we find John, Thomas & James also a victualler at Royal Row and a Samuel at Rumley Avenue Kingstown.

In 1837 Samuel has been succeeded by Denis and John has moved next door to 27 Liffey Street.

In 1845 Patrick Brazill is listed as a silk & woollen dyer at 48 Watling Street.

In 1850 a William Brazil is listed at 8 Royal Row.

In 1852 Denis Brazil is at Rumley Avenue, William in the Ormond Market, Thomas is lasted as a civil engineer at 12 Holles Street and John Brazill is secretary of the catholic Book Society at 33 Essex Quay.

In 1846 Stephen Dickson Brazill a solicitor at 1 Clare Street Dublin and in Limerick, this is probably the same Stephen son of Thomas Brazill also a solicitor who married the widowed Charlotte Lipton daughter of Francis Walker on 4th November 1845 in St Luke’s Church Cork. The Kings Inns Admission Papers  of 1607-1867 lists Stephen aged over 16 years of Limerick as been admitted in the Hilary Term 1833. Stephen is listed as being from the Victoria Hotel Cork.

In 1851 a Chris Brazil is at 9 Bull Lane, a Mary Anne Brazill at 74 Pill Lane now Chancery Street, and William Brazil at 7 Flag Lane with Patrick at Watling Street.

other records

1864 John Brazil a labourer from the North of Dublin City with Christopher, Edward, James and Michael.

John Brazil & Bridget Byrne, John a butcher from Thomas Street d 1871 and his widow remarried in 1876. Later they are listed as living in Kingstown and later again as Margaret and Theresa were married from Merrion Square it is possible that the John Brazil of 1881 a butcher of Westland Row is from that family.

Patrick Brazil a silk dyer of the 1790 trade directory is the godfather of Ester. It is possible that this is her uncle, suggesting that Luke (son of Patrick) had a brother.

The grave records from Glasnevin show that Luke c1829-1899 was buried in a grave the property of Julia Callaghan 1805-1845 who is understood to have been his aunt.

Simon Brazil, this is the family to whom Denis erected a monument in Goldenbridge. The reference to Samuel at Rumley Row Kingstown would appear to refer to this family with Samuel being a misprint for Simon.

Thomas Brazil and Anne Murphy. Thomas was a gardener at Our Lady Hospice Harolds Cross Dublin.

William Brazil was a car man from Brides Lane.

Other families were John Brassil and Kathleen Byrne, James and John Brazil a John Brazil and Margaret Entwistle, a  John Brazil and Bridget Mullane, Joseph Brazil, a Paul Brazil and Margaret Coyle. A James Brazil and Margaret Groves, John Brazil, Martin Brazil, Myles Brazil, Patrick Brazil Richard Brazil, Thomas Brazil early 1800’s Patrick Brazil and Anne Griffiths and Peter Brazil and Mary c 1808.

Daniel Brassil is the ancestor of the Brassil in Tarmon Hill. M. Catherine Culhane from Ballyculhane Glin Co Limerick.

County Kildare Brazils pre 1864

No Brazils are records in Griffiths Valuation, this is somewhat surprising as four Brazil families located in the county in 1864. From Niall Foley comes the following:
