Sweeny is a masculine name derived from the Irish surname Ó Suibhne, meaning 'descendant of Suibhne,' a personal name thought to derive from 'suibhne,' meaning 'well-going' or 'pleasant.' The name carries literary connections through the medieval Irish tale 'Buile Shuibhne' (The Frenzy of Sweeney) and later works like T.S. Eliot's 'Sweeney Among the Nightingales.' While more familiar as a surname, Sweeny has occasionally appeared as a first name, particularly in Irish-American families. The spelling with 'ee' rather than 'ee-ne' gives it a more streamlined appearance. Though uncommon, it offers a distinctive option with authentic Irish heritage and cultural depth.
