Malone ( ) is an Irish surname. From the Irish "Mael Eóin", the name literally translates as "bald John", which is believed to refer to being a servant or a disciple of Saint John. Woulfe (1923) explicitly gives Ó Maoileóin (anglicized Malone) as “descendant of Maoleóin,” glossing Maoleóin as “servant of St. John,” and he calls the Ó Maoileóin a distinguished ecclesiastical family at Clonmacnoise with multiple abbots and bishops.
